Shopping in Gettysburg is fun and can be an experience within itself. Many of the shops in the tourist districts offer Civil War relics, artifacts and replicas depicting the Battle. Many of the re-enactors purchase costuming at the local shops. Several talented artists have stores in the area, showcasing oil paintings, watercolors, sculptures and stained glass.
Should you tire of the “old shopping” head out to the Gettysburg Village factory outlet where over 100 stores are housed in a fun and sprawling outlet center.
Gettysburg is a great destination for all ages and budgets. Students of history will have a hands-on learning experience, and even those who avoid history will probably learn something too!
