The Birthplace of Ghost Storytelling in Gettysburg

Before the candlelight tours, before the books were written, the ghostly tales and lore started at the Historic Farnsworth House Inn. Our legendary ghost tours have been frightening — and delighting — visitors for decades.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

A Place Shaped by History

The Farnsworth House Inn stands as a living testament to the Battle of Gettysburg. Named for Brigadier General Elon John Farnsworth, whose ill-fated charge on July 3, 1863 took place just yards from these walls, the inn has welcomed guests since the Civil War era. Walk the same floors, hear the same stories, and feel the weight of history all around you.
