Farnsworth House Inn
A Civil War-era house with more than a hundred bullet holes in its walls, serving Pennsylvania Dutch and period-style dishes. It is also known as a haunted inn.
During the battle, the house was a Confederate sharpshooter position, and after the war it served as a hospital. More than a hundred bullet holes remain in its stone walls. The casual Sweney's Tavern displays props from the film Gettysburg. Seating is first come, first served and no reservations are needed. The Meade & Lee dining room, staffed by servers in period costume, serves Pennsylvania Dutch and wartime-inspired dishes, and advance reservations are recommended. Signature dishes include peanut soup, game pie and homemade meat patties. Located on Baltimore Street, within walking distance of downtown.
