The Bed and Breakfasts INNside Gettysburg, a group of six premier B&Bs, announces a weekend with President Lincoln on March 21 and 22, 2009. The package includes a two-night stay in a historic bed and breakfast, a downtown tour of the newly renovated Wills House where the President spent the night prior to delivering the Gettysburg Address, a tour of the National Cemetery where Lincoln delivered his most famous speech, and dinner at the Dobbin House with the President himself. Guests will personally meet the President in the receiving line before dinner and again during dinner as the President joins each table for conversation.

 

Our tour guide for the National Cemetery will be Roy Frampton, a licensed battlefield guide who is responsible for pinpointing the location of the rostrum where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg address and guests will receive a copy of his book. On Saturday evening, guests will dine at the Dobbin House with President Lincoln portrayed by nationally renowned Lincoln impersonator, James Getty.
