Dobbin House Tavern
The oldest building in town, built in 1776. Its candlelit restaurant serves colonial-era dishes, and it also has a hidden room from the Underground Railroad.
This is the oldest surviving building in Gettysburg. The stone house was built in 1776 and was once a hiding place for enslaved people escaping via the Underground Railroad, and the concealed rooms in the walls are still visible. Today it is a colonial-style candlelit restaurant and the Springhouse Tavern. Servers wear 18th-century costume, and the signature dishes are roast meats and French onion soup. It is near the Soldiers' National Cemetery, and reservations are recommended for dinner.
