About this Event
Welcome to the *HGAC Historic Barns Tour of Gettysburg and Adams County*! Join us on Sat Sep 21, 2024 at The Historic Round Barn for a fun and educational experience. Explore the rich history of the area as we visit various historic barns in Gettysburg and Adams County. Learn about the significance of these structures and their role in shaping the local community. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to step back in time and discover the beauty of these *historic* landmarks! Family friendly activities in the barns will have the look and feel of the 1800's, when the barns were built. Kids under 18 are FREE, but must be accompanied by an adult. Most of the barns on the Tour are privately owned and are not usually open to the public. Photographers, bring your cameras! Grandparents, bring your grandkids! The Barn Tour is held RAIN or SHINE so dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes for walking.
To begin the Tour, all participants must check in between 10 am and Noon at the Historic Round Barn, where they will receive a Barn Tour booklet and a map showing the barn locations. After touring the Round Barn, paticipants are free to drive to the other five barns in any order, and stay as long as they like. The Barn Tour ends at 4 pm.
Arts and crafts vendors will be demonstrating and selling their work in the barns during the Tour.
All proceeds benefit the award-winning HGAC Barn Preservation Project and Grant Program.
