If you'd like to learn more about Pennsylvania history make
the short 35 mile drive to Harrisburg and the State Museum of
Pennsylvania, Box 1026, Harrisburg, north of Gettysburg, 717-787-4978.
Here you'll find exhibits detailing the state's history and growth
plus a special exhibit, The Keystone of the Union, which covers
the part the battle in Gettysburg played in the Civil War. For
more Civil War history, drive about fourteen miles to Hanover,
PA, Rt. 116 East. This is where the first Civil War battle north
of the Mason-Dixon line took place.
Just 10 miles south of Gettysburg you'll find the St. Elizabeth
Ann Seton Basilica, 333 South Seton Ave, Emmitsburg, Maryland,
301-447-6606. In addition to the shrine, you'll find historic
buildings on the grounds.
Also during your stay in Gettysburg you are only 52 miles
from Hershey, Pennsylvania
and the Hershey Gardens, the Hershey Museum, and most importantly
to us chocolate lovers, Hershey's Chocolater World Visitors Center.
Yes they do have a tour and give away samples. And my oh my,
what a wonderful gift shop they have!
You are also just 54 miles from Baltimore
where you'll find Fort McHenry National Monument, the birthplace
of Babe Ruth, the Basilica of the Assumption, the Lacrosse Hall
of Fame, the National Aquarium, the Peale Museum and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Museum.
Gettysburg is also just 78 Miles from Washington,
D.C. and the White House, Capitol Building, Lincoln Memorial,
Jefferson Memorial, Georgetown, the Arlington National Cemetery,
and the must see Smithsonian. A stress free way to see DC is
by riding with the folks at Dayton's
Tours, 800-763-2434. They offer guided bus tours that pick
up at most RV parks. Then they will whisk you away on a great
day with stops at sites like Arlington National Cemetery, the
War Memorials, the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian, and the
Washington National Cathedral. You'll also have a chance to see
sights like the White House, Ford's Theater, the Supreme Court,
the FBI Building, and Library of Congress as you tour the town.
