Private Cottage
ROOM DECOR TELLS THE STORIES OF GETTYSBURG
The stories of the inn center on abolition and a Civil War cavalry battle in 1863. Justice and freedom are values we support and promote as we tell the history of Gettysburg and the Houghtelin Farmhouse.
Some rooms tell the story of the Civil War battle that happened on this farm here on the South Cavalry Battlefield July 1-3, 1863. These rooms include the General Merritt Suite, The 2nd US Dragoons, and Graham’s Artillery.
Other rooms are named after the abolitionists who lived on this farm during the Civil War, Cornelius and Anna Houghtelin.
Houghtelin’s Hideaway refers to the safe houses and hiding places along the Underground Railroad.
Anna’s Garden refers to the hard work that went in to this self-sufficient farm that supported the Houghtelin family as they actively worked to abolish slavery. Our inn is no where near self-sufficient, but we do garden for our guests and bring you the seasonal harvest for your breakfast enjoyment.
The North Star Room refers to the the North Star in the sky that was used by fugitives to guide them north to freedom. Many of the enslaved people had never left their home plantation. The stars in the sky were their only guide as they navigated north.
As you look around your room, you will find objects, photos, and writings that tell the story of the unit, officer, abolitionist farmer, or justice author that the room is named after.
The Lt Col William Baker Suite honors a distinguished Gettysburg author who brought justice to the Brownsville Soldiers, helping to clear their names and restore honor to their unit.
The Beneath The Falling Stars Room refers to a beautiful event held here at Battlefield Bed & Breakfast to honor female combat soldiers of the Civil War.
The March-Wolff Suite is named after the families of Innkeeper Debbie March. Debbie is a direct descendant of the March and Wolff families who lived in Gettysburg since the 1700’s. Both the March and the Wolf families arrived in the 18th Century from Germany. Debbie’s mother was a Wolff, who was descended from the Wolf family that owned the Wolf Farm that became Camp Letterman Hospital following the Battle of Gettysburg. Debbie’s father was a March who was descended from one of the farmers who traded horses with soldiers during the Battle.
Our stone farmhouse was built in 1809. The inn has grown to include a spacious breakfast room and a beautiful Solarium. Expect historical ambiance and modern, luxury accommodations.
