The inn

The only bed & breakfast on the Gettysburg National Battlefield, set on Oak Ridge above the town. Greg and Sue Rosensteel have kept the house since 2018, welcoming guests into a quiet home where the first day’s fighting once began.

The battlefield

Step outside and you are on it. The inn stands on Oak Ridge, where the battle opened on the morning of July 1, 1863. Walk it quietly; the ground here is a place of remembrance first.

  • The Eternal Light Peace Memorial, dedicated in 1938 as a symbol of reconciliation, is an easy walk away on the ridge.
  • The Virginia Monument, with its bronze figures on Seminary Ridge, is likewise a short stroll.
  • Borrow our CD battlefield audio tour for a self-guided drive; please return it by 10:00 AM on checkout day.

A Gettysburg guide

Notes for planning your days, from the battlefield outward. Times and offerings change with the seasons; treat these as starting points, not promises.

The battlefield, on foot and by car

FreeWalking the battlefield and the Visitor Center grounds costs nothing; an entrance pass is not required. The film, Cyclorama painting, and museum gallery at the Visitor Center are ticketed separately.

  • Eternal Light Peace Memorial – Oak Hill, steps from the inn; dedicated July 3, 1938 by President Roosevelt as a monument to lasting peace.
  • Virginia Monument – West Confederate Avenue on Seminary Ridge; dedicated 1917, the largest of the Confederate state monuments.
  • Little Round Top, Devil’s Den, and the Gettysburg National Cemetery – the classic half-day circuit.

Allow a full day for the driving tour; spring and fall are the kindest months. Summer is hot and humid, winter can bring snow.

Guided options

PaidThe park offers ranger programs and guided bus tours, typically about two hours. A Licensed Battlefield Guide can also ride in your own car for a private two or three hour tour; book through the Visitor Center.

Bus tours run on a schedule; private car tours can be arranged in advance. Check the Visitor Center for the day’s ranger talks, which are free.

Eating in town

  • Dobbin House Tavern (Steinwehr Avenue) – colonial-era tavern in a 1776 stone house; candlelit dining upstairs, a casual tavern below.
  • Blue & Gray Bar & Grill (Baltimore Street) – Civil War-themed sports bar, burgers and wings.
  • Farnsworth House (Baltimore Street) – period dining rooms and the well-known evening ghost tours.
  • Hunt’s Battlefield Fries & Cafe (Steinwehr Avenue) – a quick local stop for fries and sandwiches between tour stops.

Heads up: on summer weekends and around the July anniversary, popular dining rooms fill fast. Go early or book ahead; many kitchens close by 9 PM.

Getting here

Gettysburg is a driving town. There is no commercial airport in Adams County and no passenger rail station in town.

  • By air: Harrisburg International Airport is the nearest, about a 45 minute drive.
  • By rail and bus: Amtrak serves Harrisburg; local buses run from Harrisburg into Gettysburg on weekdays.
  • By car: from Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia it is roughly a 90 minute to two hour drive.

You will want a car here: the battlefield tour, the Visitor Center, and the monuments are spread out, and the inn is on the ridge above town.

Pitfalls worth knowing

  • The July 1–3 anniversary and fall foliage weekends bring the heaviest crowds and traffic; book rooms and tours well ahead.
  • Many battlefield avenues are one-way; watch the signs before turning.
  • Parking near Little Round Top and the Visitor Center fills by midday in season; start early.
  • Some GPS routes send drivers through the park’s narrow avenues at night; the avenues are unlit, so drive slowly after dark.

Safety notes

  • Carry water and sun protection: the fields are open and summer heat is real.
  • Stay on roads and marked trails; check for ticks after walking through grass.
  • Do not climb on monuments or cannons; it is against park rules and the stonework is fragile.
  • Downtown is compact and walkable, but sidewalks along the busier pikes have no shoulder – use the marked crossings.

Guides, prices, and hours belong to the park and the town, not to us; we note what is public and current as of 2026-10-16, and we will gladly point you to the day’s ranger schedule at breakfast.
