History and Hospitality on the Confederate Retreat from Gettysburg

With origins dating to 1757, The Fairfield Inn is one of only five Inns in America that has been in continuous operation since the 1700's. The Inn has hosted Generals Robert E. Lee & J.E.B. Stuart, President & Mrs. Eisenhower, Statesman Patrick Henry famous for the quote "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death", Thaddeus Stevens and even old-time Baseball Hall of Famer, Eddie Plank, as well as many other noteable Americans. It is the oldest Inn in the Gettysburg area.

Guests can dine in one of the Inns dining rooms choosing from the Eisenhower's favorite room to the original 1757 home which still houses the original working fireplace, the Mansion House (the newest addition added in 1801), or for a more casual atmospher the Squire Miller Tavern. A warm cozy tavern with a huge wood burning fireplace. Unbelievable ambiance especially after a day of skiing (the slopes are less than a mile away). The menu offers the General's Bill of Fare which is the meal that the retreating Confederates ate the evening of July 4, 1863. The Inn is located directly on the retreat and uses the original recipes to recreate the General's meal. Over 40,000 retreating Confederates passed the Inn and many of the wounded were left to be treated by the towns doctor. The menu also includes delicious entrees such as Roasted Prime Rib, Rack of Lamb, Confederate Crab Cakes, Portabella Mushroom Stuffed Ravioli with Pine Nut Pesto Sauce as well as other continental dishes.

Visitors can take the FREE Underground Railroad and History tour of the Inn and learn how the Inn was used as a Civil War Hospital, Stagecoach Stop and as a stop on the Underground Railroad. You can even view the hidden attic room where the runaway slaves hid!

The bed & breakfast rooms are all deluxe and the Inn has two huge suites each with private parlour. All rooms have AC and TV and are decorated with antiques each have a full private bathroom, some with whirlpool tubs, and rates include a breakfast each morning.
