The History of the Property and Historic Barn
Set back in the beautiful countryside of Gettysburg, PA on the location of the South Cavalry Battlefield, Battlefield Bed and Breakfast Inn is a unique wedding venue with an intimate connection to the Battle of Gettysburg and the history of the United States Military.
The beautifully restored 1809 field stone Farmhouse was both witness to the Battle of Gettysburg and headquarters for Union Major General Wesley Merritt, who served in the American Civil War, the American Indian Wars, and the Spanish - American War. Major General Wesley Merritt would also go on to become the superintendent of West Point in 1882.
The Bed and Breakfast's thirty-acre property was used by the Union Army as a camp location and the Historic Barn was utilized as a Union Army Field Hospital. Battlefield Bed and Breakfast Inn exists today as a living historical monument to the brave soldiers who fought and perished fighting for the cause of freedom and the future of our great nation.
Every day at the Inn begins with a morning history presentation with one of our highly educated Civil War Historians and a delicious full breakfast. We serve foods reminiscent of rural living, so expect scrumptious pan-fried farm potatoes, farm fresh eggs, savory breakfast meats, and a fine selection of made-from-scratch baked goods.

Packages can include an outdoor ceremony in our beautiful Wedding Garden or an inside ceremony in the Solarium.
Before the reception, consider using our lawn spaces to play cornhole, horseshoes, or an outdoor game of your choosing. Large receptions are held inside the Historic Barn and smaller receptions can also take place in the Solarium- all tables, chairs, and tablecloths are included in the package.
Battlefield Bed and Breakfast Inn will accommodate special seating arrangements for any guest(s) of honor in attendance at the reception, e.g. the seating of guests according to Military rank.
The barn can be decorated to the wedding couple's choosing; the wedding party is responsible for the set up and tear down of all decorations.

“My husband and I just got married on August 8th, 2015. We had a military style wedding, so Gettysburg was right down the path of the style and the history. Debbie and Florence were amazing! They helped and made sure that our day was perfect! They came up and checked on everything and insured that everything looked great! They work with you from the time you book the venue up until the next day cleaning up! ... over all great people, beautiful place to have the greatest day of your life at!
