Getting Here

In the heart of Central Pennsylvania lies historic Gettysburg. Just 10 miles from PA’s southern border it is in close proximity to many metropolitan areas like New York City, Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. In fact, due to its location in the southern part of the state, it is actually closer in distance to Baltimore and Washington D.C. than it is to Philadelphia.
