Farnsworth House Inn & Ghost Tours
Farnsworth House Inn
A historic inn whose exterior walls still bear more than a hundred bullet holes. Its cellar storytelling and nighttime ghost tours are very popular.
Built in 1810, the inn saw Confederate sharpshooters hide in its attic during the battle, and more than 100 bullet holes remain in its brick walls. Today it operates as an inn and restaurant serving 19th-century-style dishes, and it is the home base of the Gettysburg Ghost Tours. In the evening, visitors can attend storytelling in the cellar, a walk by lantern light, and a séance experience. Night tours must be booked in advance and cost about $20 to $30. They often sell out during the October peak season.
