Sat, Dec. 7: One of Gettysburg’s newest B&B's is holding an open house! Here's your chance to visit The Gettysburg Academy!

Details:
The Gettysburg Academy Bed and Breakfast in historic downtown Gettysburg will host a community open house this Saturday, Dec. 7, from 2:30-4 p.m. The event is free—all are welcome; reservations are not required. The historic building is located at 66-68 West High Street, just one block off of Baltimore Street. The open house coincides with A Gettysburg Christmas Festival events.

“We’ve been open for just a couple of years, and we want people to visit and see this beautiful building and the possibilities that it offers,” said Academy owner Scott English. “We hope local residents will stop by, because we offer Jane’s Tea Room and its year-round events, meeting and building rentals, a wedding venue and more, so it’s not a place just for out-of-town visitors.”

Built in 1810, the building served as the first building for Gettysburg College (once known as Pennsylvania College) and also the first building for the Gettysburg Seminary (today the United Lutheran Seminary). A witness to the Battle of Gettysburg, Tillie Pierce, a young girl who left behind a personal account of her experiences during the battle, was attending school in the building—when it served as Rebecca Eyster’s Young Ladies Seminary—as soldiers came to town. Tillie and her fellow students were sent home. The building was used as a hospital during the battle, and it was struck by an artillery shell that remains visible above a second-story window.

“We are so happy to have this building open to the general public for the first time in decades,” said English. “It’s an important part of Gettysburg’s history—including the town’s educational history—and we are excited to welcome people inside to take a look.”

The Gettysburg Academy Bed and Breakfast
Authorized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the first Adams County public school in 1810, the Academy was completed in 1813 and has been termed the “cradle” of higher learning in Adams County and for the Lutheran Church in America was the founding home of both the Gettysburg Seminary and Gettysburg College. In 1838, the newly established Gettysburg Female Institute took over the building, which had hosted the Adams County Anti-Slavery Society founding and meetings in 1836. The building witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg from July 1-3, 1863, and was used as a hospital. During the 1870s, the building was privately owned and has continued to be thusly owned until present day. Today it serves as one of Gettysburg’s newest bed and breakfasts, and also features Jane’s Tea Room, which hosts tea events throughout the year. The building can be rented as a meeting, event or wedding venue. For more information and for online reservations, visit www.gettysburgacademy.com.
