About this Event

The Battle of Gettysburg raged in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1–3, 1863. Widely considered the turning point of the Civil War, it also resulted in the highest number of casualties of any battle, with over 40,000 dead and wounded.

Today, Gettysburg stands as one of the most historically significant - and quietly haunted - locations in the country.

Join Strange Escapes for a three-day retreat filled with intimate gatherings, historic exploration, and immersive experiences that go beyond the battlefield. From candlelit tours to late-night investigations, this is a weekend designed for those who want to experience Gettysburg in a way few ever do.
