We did our trip to Gettysburg in the late fall and it was a good time too. No skiing of course, but we had a lot of fun exploring the battlefield and city.

I have yet to visit Gettsburg! Beautiful photos on a sunny but wintery day! I’d love to visit one day with my kids. Great post, thanks for sharing 🙂

All that history and the sites. I will have to pay Gettysburg a visit.

I have not been to Gettysburg and as with any destination, it looks like winter is a great time to visit. The crowds are not present and you can actually get a close up of all of the history… BONUS- if you love to ski, looks like it’s a good time to visit. The B & B you stayed at looked very nice and anything that screams pie, is a winner in my book.

What a great place, full of history. I love going on trips in Winter, less people and more time to relax and enjoy the scenery. The ski slopes look amazing! Polly

Sounds like a great area to visit full of history. I would prefer to visit during the winter when it is not so crowded and the ski resort looks amazing.

That’s a lot of visitors for such a small town but I can see why so many people head to Gettysburg – it is a very significant part of American history after all. I had no idea Pennsylvania got so much snow – I’m sure skiers are quite happy about that!

Wonderful article! Many people don’t realize that Gettysburg is a great place to visit in the wintertime. And as you reported, there is also much to see and do throughout Adams County (the apple capital of Pennsylvania, by the way!) Come back again in the spring, when all the orchards–apples, peaches, cherries and plums–are in bloom, and when the Battlefield’s wildflowers, redbuds and dogwoods are at their most beautiful! And be sure to join a National Park Service ranger for a battle walk. The stories they tell as you walk these historic grounds will stay with you.

It’s great to know there is so much more than history in Gettysburg. Love the sound of the vineyards and the non-touristy slopes. Need to add this to my travel destinations within the U.S. Interesting read and love your pictures.
