TravelBrains
"Travel isn't just about going places and seeing things.
It's about understanding the world around you. Anybody
can go to a Civil War battlefield and say they saw it.
Not many people can return home and say they understand
it. That is exactly what TravelBrains is all about -
helping you achieve a profound understanding of your
travel destination. " This Gettysburg Tour was done
with Gallon Historical Art Staff Historian Wayne E.
Motts.
Friends
of the National Parks at Gettysburg
"In order to preserve the heritage of this nation, the
mission of the Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg
is to support, protect, and enhance, on behalf of all
generation of American people, the resources associated

Gettysburg, and the Eisenhower Farm."
Motts
Military Museum
"Unique to central Ohio, Motts Military Museum has a
special interest in the young people of our country.
We are concerned that so many may not have the opportunity,
to relive the history that has shape our country - with
Motts Military Museum available many will be able to
take a real look into the history and, perhaps, take
away a new appreciation for our nations heritage."
The Dobbin
House
Four Score and Seven years before the Civil War Battle
of Gettysburg, (1776), Reverend Alexander Dobbin built
a house to begin a new life in America for himself and
his family. Today his home, listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, is a colonial restaurant where candlelit
elegance, superior food in abundance, and gracious service
bring back the sights, sounds and tastes of two centuries
ago. It consistently wins Mobil Guide's highest area
rating. The friendly hospitality of the Dobbin House
extends to the Springhouse Tavern, Gettystown Bed and
Breakfast, Country Curiosity Store, Abigail Adams Ballroom,
in-house bakery and secret "underground railroad" slave
hideout.
