Edge Management

Everyone who is interested in the events of the Civil War need to make the trip to Gettysburg. There are plenty of quaint hotels around Gettysburg that will put you close to the site were the Battle of Gettysburg took place. The town has also put together some great museums filled with artifacts and stories to help get a good understanding of what took place in this historical city. There are plenty of tours one can take to get the most out of your experience. If you decide to go on a self guided tour then try getting a CD of the history of the area to listen to while you visit the sites. There are plenty of tour companies ready to take you on a guided tour. I am not usually one to take these sort of tours but this might be the best way to go. They have double decker buses and also tours of the Jenny Wade house. Maybe one evening you would want to try the candlelight tours of the city. What a thrill to get the haunted stories in the darkness of the night.
Make sure you add the Dobbin House Tavern to your list of places to eat. It is the most famous restaurant in town so you may want to get there early. This restaurant is the old home of Reverend Alexander Dobbin who lived there in 1776. This building has been restored to its best authenticity. From the seating and the decor to the outfits the staff wears you are sure to feel like you are back in the 1776 days. So make sure you go and eat some authentic 1776 period recipes by candle light and enjoy the ambiance.
Many of the buildings around town are original and restored. From the bed and breakfast homes to the old hotels as well as many shops and restaurants you will find yourself in many historical places that have a few stories of there own. Come and see where great men such as General Robert E Lee and Major General George Gordon Mead fought each other in this famous battle. See where President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address to the people who lived through the battle and the winning northern army.
