Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Many of the shops in Gettysburg are geared toward civil war and military buffs, especially in the vicinity of the national park visitors center. However, there are a few fine arts and crafts shops within one block of Lincoln Square. If you are traveling with kids, check out the Land of Little Horses Farm Park. There are also campgrounds, B&Bs, wineries, restaurants, and shops in the surrounding countryside.
