Food happens to be a big part of our family travels. I genuinely believe it is one of the best ways to get a true feel for the flavor & local vibe of any new city or area that we visit. We do have a few rules in place when dining out while we are traveling though...

1. No fast food restaurants or national chains, aka nothing that we can eat back in our hometown on any ole day of the week.
2. Locally owned & operated. Bonus points if most or all of their menu happens to be locally sourced as well.
3. And they must be family friendly (a decent kids' menu, friendly atmosphere), but still appeal to the adults (aka, the hard core foodies) and the almost adult in the family. ;)

During our recent visit to Gettysburg a few weekends ago, not only did we get to immerse ourselves in the rich history and Civil War heritage of the city, but we also got a taste of the city's local food scene largely thanks to our friends at Destination Gettysburg. 

From local coffee spots to dining in buildings where history was created to locally crafted brews, Gettysburg is not just for history buffs, folks. Gettysburg also has a very delicious and vibrant local food scene making it the perfect getaway for die hard foodies as well...

When you think of American cities steeped in the rich history of our country, a few probably make your short list- Boston, Philadelphia, Williamsburg, Savannah, and of course, Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. 

Gettysburg was forever burned into the tapestry of American history during 3 fateful days in July of 1863. It was during those 3 days in the heat of summer that Union forces and Confederate troops would happen upon each other in what would be become the deadliest battle of the Civil War. 

The battle was fought in the fields and orchards surrounding Gettysburg, but much of the fighting happened right through the middle of the city as well. 

In fact, many of the buildings there still carry the scars of those battles- filled-in bullet holes and lodged artillery shells. Just about everywhere you look, walk, and venture in and around Gettysburg is a link to to the past, a relic and tribute to a hard fought battle that was considered a major turning point in the war...
