One of the best things about working in the B&B industry, is the amazing stories, facts and tidbits that I hear from innkeepers. Sometimes we feel the need to share them immediately with you, which is where our blog comes in. A few days ago, we received an email from Florence Tarbox, the innkeeper at the Battlefield Bed and Breakfast.

Florence’s Inn is actually ON the battlefield at Gettysburg, PA which caught our attention right away. There really aren’t many B&Bs located on battlefields. Usually, it’s my pleasure to write on and on, but in this case I’d like share Florence’s description of her inn:

When you stay at Battlefield Bed and Breakfast, you are staying at an original Civil War farm on the Gettysburg Battlefield. We specialize in Civil War history and include a history presentation given by a costumed reenactor every morning before breakfast. Guests may be able to fire a Civil War musket, try on uniforms, or gather around the piano for some rousing 19th Civil War singing. During the summer season, we have many enthusiastic families who eagerly join in the history demonstrations. The beautiful Pennsylvania farm setting with nature trails, ponds, and woods appeals to everyone from romantic couples to home school families. Our inn offers a unique opportunity to experience Civil War history in Gettysburg.

Each morning with your breakfast, you’ll have the chance to learn about a different aspect of the Civil War, many of them with hands on demonstrations. Visiting the Gettysburg Battlefields is a very popular stop for history buffs, but only by staying at a B&B can you spend the night. The Battlefield B&B is just another way to wake up someplace special.
