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.

Inn at Cemetery Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. Staff was very friendly and the daily breakfadt was typical hotel fare. Wed definitely stay here again."

Colton Motel Gettysburg

10/10 Excellent

"This is value for the money. Older? Yes. A bit rough around the edges? Yes. But location here is great, within walking distance along the main drag. Fancy? Certainly not but the rooms were clean, the water hot when needed, the AC was perfect, the pool was clean as well. The staff, top marks for working with what they have. And that by no means is meant as an insult. Book a room at this old school motel, save some dollars, enjoy your stay. "
