“Four score and seven years ago. . .” Gettysburg is where the civil war’s famous turning point took place, and it is where Lincoln gave his historic speech. It is a place everyone needs to visit at least once in their lifetime.

We toured the downtown area and visited the Will’s House where Lincoln slept the night before his speech as well as explored other historic sites around Gettysburg. The weather was perfect, and we were able to really walk and explore everything in the area.

Of course, while exploring you get hungry! We enjoyed lunch at the Blue and Gray Bar and Grill. I had a crab cake sandwich which was delicious. Highly recommend! After lunch we found an ice cream shop, the Baltimore Hill Creamery. I had the cookie and cream ice cream, which was so yummy!!

After we explored the town, we got in the car and drove through where the significant battles took place. We stopped at all the significant markers and enjoyed absorbing history.

We were staying in Harrisburg, so we returned for dinner. There is a really cool restaurant near the capitol named the Sturges Speakeasy. We ate there during our last visit and had to return! They have local draft beers and a variety of food on the menu. I enjoyed the chicken pasta, which was yummy. If you visit, request to sit on the patio, it’s so pleasant and relaxing!

So, next time you are in Pennsylvania, be sure to visit Gettysburg and absorb the history!
