Fairfield Inn, Located directly on General Lee's Confederate Retreat from
Gettysburg, July 4, 1863, the Inn is one of a distinguished few in America
that has been in continuous operation for 248 years. Built 19 years before
the Declaration of Independence, the Inn is an authentic American Treasure
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Used as an early
Colonial Settler's Meeting House, Stagecoach Stop, Confederate Civil War
Hospital and part of the Underground Railroad, many notable Americans have
graced it's halls. Today guests of the Inn can dine in President and Mrs.
Eisenhower's favorite room, sleep where Statesman Patrick Henry conducted
meetings or where General J.E.B. Stuart stayed during his Confederate Raid
of the valley, view the hiding spot for the fleeing slaves and the
original Maria Furnace invented by Thaddeus Stevens when he resided at the
Inn, or relax in the Tavern where baseball Hall of Famer, Eddie Plank,
enjoyed a good ale. Ask for General Lee's "Bill of Fare" and dine on the
same meal, taken from the original recipes, he and General J.E.B. Stuart
were served on July 4, 1863 |
