"History is far more than the excitement of battle, the flags and guns and desperate assaults. In a place like Gettysburg, the visitor -- the native for that matter -- may easily become absorbed in the three days of conflict, forgetting that history was also made here in quiet lives, on farm and village street, through a century before the battle, through a century after it." -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
The town of Gettysburg is perhaps most famous for the decisive and massive battle fought there during the American Civil War. However, there is a lot more to modern Gettysburg than this one famous battle. Gettysburg also happens to be a great place for living and visiting, with historical houses, top-notch restaurants and access to plenty of scenic outdoor areas. And don't worry, locals usually don't force new residents to put on Civil War uniforms and start fighting mock battles as some sort of initiation. Although, if that's your thing, it's definitely an option. Ultimately, if you plan to live in Gettysburg, you should know a few things before you make the big move. View Gettysburg City Guide
