History buffs will definitely want to put Gettysburg on their short list of must-see towns on the East Coast. The Gettysburg National Military Park preserves the history of the Civil War’s bloodiest battle, which inspired Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address. Today, the rolling green hills and nature trails throughout the former battleground provide a full day of walking and hiking while contemplating the historic events that took place on the hallowed grounds. This quaint Pennsylvania town has plenty of unique attractions in addition to the battlefield, including haunted and historic tours, theater, golf, wineries, distilleries, and authentic cider makers.
