Guest Rooms Each Have a Story

at Battlefield Bed and Breakfast Inn

Our guest rooms are each designed to tell the stories that are the history of Gettysburg. You will find replicas, artifacts, and artwork throughout the inn dedicated to the Battle of Gettysburg, the Underground Railroad and the Abolitionist movement, the farmers who built the community, the efforts to memorialize the history including the women soldiers, and the writing colony that has grown in Gettysburg to tell the stories.

Our stone farmhouse was built in 1809. The property was used as a headquarters by Brigadier General Wesley Merritt during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Guests can stay in the original fieldstone farmhouse or in the rooms that have been artfully added.

Each room tells a story related to the history of the farmhouse and Gettysburg. Three rooms tell the story of the Union army units that fought on the property. Two rooms tell the story of the abolitionists, Cornelius and Anna Houghtelin, who lived in the home in 1863. One room tells the story of the Underground Railroad that was active in Gettysburg. One room tells the story of the March and Wolff farm families who settled in Adams County in the 1700’s and whose descendants still live here today. One room is dedicated to female combat soldiers. Another is dedicated to a Gettysburg author who wrote about his achievement in bringing justice to the Buffalo Soldiers.

The inn has grown to include several spacious sitting rooms and a beautiful Solarium. Expect a historical ambiance and modern, luxury accommodations.
