Reasons to Visit Gettysburg this March 

Start the month by heading out into the woods for Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve’s Maple Fest at nearby Camp Eder and enjoy a time-honored tradition of maple sugaring. Don’t leave without getting yourself a stack of pancakes dripping with rich maple syrup. Tickets are required for this event. 

March is Women’s History Month, and Gettysburg is filled with amazing stories of heroic women who jumped into action when the war came to town. Explore on your own or join one of the “Women of Gettysburg” walking tours from Hidden Memories.

Get outside and enjoy the fresh Spring air at one of four state parks that surround the Gettysburg countryside. For great views, check out Pine Grove Furnace State Park north of Gettysburg or Cunningham Falls State Park, in Thurmont, Md. 

This month, the Mansion House 1757 in nearby Fairfield, Pa., is inviting you back into the kitchen for a series of cooking classes featuring a new cuisine each Monday. Join Chef George Keeney, who will share his cooking techniques while students prepare a meal and feast afterward. 

The Gettysburg Heritage Center’s “Reenactor Recruitment Day” promises an exciting opportunity for history enthusiasts to explore and potentially join a reenactor group. With over 20 different reenactment groups covering eras from the Revolutionary War to World War II, attendees have the chance to find a historical period that aligns with their interests. 

Keeping history alive, the 2025 Reenactor Appreciation Weekend takes place March 21-23 throughout Gettysburg. Featuring free history lectures and more, the event is open to the public as well as prospective Civil War reenactors.

Enjoy the warmer weather on the way and grab a drink outside at one of our many Pour Tour stops. Discover spirits, mead, cider, wine and beer across Gettysburg and Adams County, PA.
