1:15pm - Hauser Estate Winery
www.houserestate.com
Stunning views of Adams County await along the hilly prominence of this 360-degree glass tasting room and win- ery on Gettysburg’s outskirts,and so does Jack’s Hard Cider, which is mulled on-site – all 120,000 gallons of
it.And to think: I used to be a beer guy!With each spicy sip I appreci- ate the cider’s crisp nuances more and
more.The vistas remind me of
NapaValley.The products, though,are pure Pennsylvania.
2:20pm - Seminary Ridge Museum
www.seminaryridgemuseum.org
One of CivilWar’s most historic buildings,Seminary Ridge Museum,which began as a Lutheran seminary,bore front row witness to the Battle - from its collection of rooms on up to its lofty pergola (which was a key lookout point for Union soldiers).
Once a field hospital, the large masonry edifice now special- izes in group events.Floors here are supposed to creak. Three-dimensional dioramas are meant to visualize the
sobering realities of its living
past.The museum offers a step back in time and, if you listen hard enough,you may even hear the echo of shouting soldiers and cannon fire.
315pm - Historic Gettysburg Hotel
www.hotelgettysburg.com
At Lincoln Square in the very heart of Gettysburg, the city’s oldest hotel (1797) is newly-renovated,and it holds 118 styl- ish rooms and 9,000-square feet of meeting space. Its ball- room – which once served as a bank – still has a steely giant vault at its far
end.The hotel and its storied past is an ever-present part of Gettysburg, if not a structurally-emblem- atic representation of the town and its people.
Final Takeaway

Destination Gettysburg, the region’s visitors bureau,plays the consummate host.
