Gettysburg is a unique town to live in. After William Penn received the charter for the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, many began to settle inside this land of religious freedom. Many came together in the South-central Pennsylvania countryside, and in 1761, Samuel Gettys began a tavern there. Gettysburg was made into a town in 1786 by Gettys' son, James. Now it is best known for the Civil War's most famous 'Battle of Gettysburg' in 1863. Reenactments happen every year to commemorate that battle, but those that live around Gettysburg know what its really like when tourists aren't around. We that live in Gettysburg believe it to be much more than just a tourists' attraction.
With some help, I've compiled a list of things that make Gettysburg truly unique as a town. If you live around here or in a surrounding county, you can definitely relate or have at least heard of some of these....
