Just south of the town is the location where the film Gettysburg was filmed. It's now the location for reenactments each year that depict the three-day battle which changed the course of American history and had a great influence on the American Civil War.

Typically, the reenactment is during the actual anniversary--the Fourth of July weekend (it happened July 1-3, but assume it's near that date that the reenactment occurs) but this year it rained and the reenactment was moved to August. The crowds were much smaller, but it was still a good experience.
