About Destination Gettysburg

Established as the Gettysburg Travel Council in 1955, our organization has grown to over 300 partners and two locations. Visitors can find travel assistance at our Administrative Office located on Fairfield Road.

We are a partnership-based organization, here to assist the visitor, our partners and the community. Our activities are based on the value to the visitor, partner, and community and to the overall economic impact on Adams County. It is our mission to promote Gettysburg and all of Adams County as a premier travel destination.

It is also our mission to promote tourism and its positive economic benefits. In doing so, Destination Gettysburg leads the Adams County tourism industry in presenting a positive visitor experience while preserving its rich cultural heritage and promoting all partner tourism-related businesses throughout the County. This mission is achieved by aggressive marketing and building partnerships with federal, state and local entities while maximizing all available resources.
