Farnsworth House Inn

🌞 The weather is gorgeous, and Gettysburg is calling.

It’s the perfect weekend to spend some time at the Farnsworth House, where the Outdoor Garden and Sweney’s Tavern will be open and serving great food, icy cold drinks, and plenty of warm-weather charm all weekend long.

📖 But of course, we’re not just serving sunshine and snacks.

👻 We’ve got a full lineup of tours and programs ready to keep your weekend deliciously haunted:

🏛️ Historic House Tours
🕯️ Haunted Cellar Tours
🥁 Shadow Shooters & Phantom Regiments Tours
💀 Tormented & Lost Souls Tours

📚 Saturday only:
Join us for Ghostly Tales from the Farnsworth House with a special book signing by renowned author Joe Kerrigan afterward.

A little history, a little mystery, and a whole lot of atmosphere.

🩺 Also on Saturday, don’t miss our reinvented and improved surgical presentation:
Saws, Scalpels, & Survival: The Grisly Kitchen-Table Surgeries of Gettysburg

Because nothing says “weekend plans” like battlefield medicine and the dark side of survival.

🌙 And for those who like their fun with a side of goosebumps, we’re offering a 2 Hour Mini Paranormal Night Investigation too.

☀️ Cold drinks by day.

📚 History in the evening.

👻 Ghosts by night.

🔥 A beautiful weekend in Gettysburg, with just enough haunt to keep things interesting.

😩 Yeah. We know. It’s Monday.

The alarm went off too early. The coffee isn’t strong enough. And the week stretches out ahead of you like a very long, very haunted hallway.

…Actually, that last part? We can help with. 😏

Here’s your motivation to help get through the week:

This Saturday, step inside the Keeping Room Theater for two unforgettable presentations.

👻 5:00 PM “Ghostly Tales from the Farnsworth House” Featuring the acclaimed author Joe Kerrigan with a special Book Signing Event in the gift shop immediately following his performance!
Stories born from blood-soaked ground, bullet-riddled walls, and 160+ years of restless history. These aren’t just stories, they’re a reckoning.

🩸 7:30 PM “Saws, Scalpels, and Survival: The Grisly Kitchen Table Surgeries of Gettysburg”
The battlefield was brutal. The surgeries were even worse. Pull up a chair, if you dare, and discover what it really took to survive a candle lit surgeon’s table during the heat of the battle.

Plus:

🕑 2:00 PM “Historic Farnsworth House Tour”
Explore the house as you learn the history an a little mystery about the house. Not to be missed.

🚪 7:00 PM “Haunted Cellar Tour”
Not all of Gettysburg’s ghosts walk the streets. Some never left the cellar. Join us for an hour underground at one of the most haunted locations in America.

🐎 8:00 PM “Shadow Shooters & Phantom Regiments Tour”
The battle may be over, but some regiments never left. On this after-dark attic and town walking tour, the shadows move, the air grows heavy, and the phantom soldiers of Gettysburg make their presence known. Some wars, it seems, have no end.

🌙 9:30 PM “Mini Paranormal Night”
When the presentations end, the real investigation begins. Join us as we venture into the most active areas of the Farnsworth House Inn, the spots where the energy never fully rests. This is as close as you can get to a full paranormal investigation… without spending the night.

🏘️ 10:00 PM “Tormented & Lost Souls Tour”
This isn’t your average ghost tour, this experience dives into the darkest, most disturbing corners of Gettysburg’s history and hauntings and ends deep in the cellar where the most restless spirits dwell. For ages 16 and up. Enter at your own risk.

And that’s just Saturday!

Tours run daily all week long, giving you access to the history, the hauntings, and the stories that have made the Farnsworth House Inn one of the most talked-about destinations in Gettysburg.

But Fridays and Saturdays? That’s when we turn it up, with expanded tour options and special programming that you simply won’t find anywhere else.

🗓️ This weekend only. (Actually, every weekend. Because we can’t stop. The house won’t let us. 😅)
