The town of Gettysburg, founded in 1786, is a major tourist destination as well as a vital farm community of over 10,000 citizens. Numerous orchards surround the town, which holds an Apple Blossom Festival each year. Annually, nearly two million visitors experience Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site – both maintained and operated by the National Park Service. Gettysburg College, a private, liberal arts college founded in 1832, with a 200 acre campus, and the Gettysburg Lutheran Theological Seminary, founded in 1826, both border the famous battlefield.
The Gettysburg area boasts an incredible array of attractions, including historic sites, parks, golf, skiing, festivals, amusement parks, Amish farmlands and culture, antique shops, and major outlet shopping.
