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.

5/5 Excellent

"We stay at Holiday Inn a lot along with others. This was one of the better ones. Clean rooms and helpfull staff. Also, a great breakfast with all of the selection options. The young man kept everything full of warm food and again kept the area clean. Way above most hotels."

5/5 Excellent

"We were very impressed from the beginning. Check in was friendly and quick. Hotel was very clean. Our room was clean and fresh smelling. We were very impressed considering the room charge was half of what other hotels charge. Bathroom was clean and not outdated. Shower water pressure was amazing. Towels were soft and replaced each day. Wish we had asked if a room was available on the first floor. Two story building with no elevator. Wife has a little trouble with stairs. But that was on us for not asking. Staff was always helpful."
