Welcome to Gettysburg Beat, a different kind of website about the past, present and future of this great town in South Central Pennsylvania! Presented here is:

  • History
    This site covers the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the great battles of the Civil War. It takes you back to 1863 to see the town and its citizens, how they lived and how they survived the battle. I also reveal little known historical facts about the town and the surrounding area.
  • Travel
    Gettysburg is a great travel destination. Whether a first time visitor or a returning one, you'll find useful tips and unbiased reviews on accomodations, sight-seeing tours, and a great variety of resturants  for all budgets in and around Gettysburg. I also include tips for driving around town during the peak spring and summer months and the best little boutiques in town.
  • News & Current Events
    Read about the latest news and events taking place around town.

Gettysburg is rich in history and diverse in its citizens.  Explore the town, visit the links and see how Gettysburg thrives!

About Me

I'm a native Pennsylvanian and I've lived in Gettysburg since 1996. I love the town, the people and the history. I've been a volunteer with the National Park Service for 10 years. I will always share my thoughts and ideas and historical knowledge with anyone who wants to know. I love talking about Gettysburg and I want to share my town with  you. I hope you stop by often; there's something for everyone here.  Gettysburg is my "beat". Welcome to Gettysburg Beat! -Sharon.
