About
Battlefield Bed and Breakfast is the wedding venue of choice for couples looking for a historical property in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This Civil War-era barn and farmhouse sit on the Gettysburg Battlefield and allow for indoor or outdoor ceremonies and receptions.
Built in 1809, the farmhouse belonged to abolitionists Anna and Cornelius Houghtelin and was headquarters for General Merritt during the Civil War. The Solarium contains a fireplace designed by Victorian architect Frank Furness. The property became a bed and breakfast in 1994. The owners have over 25 years of experience with hospitality, events, and weddings. Couples can enjoy their day knowing they are in good hands.

The lawns and gardens are perfect for outdoor ceremonies. The Solarium, which is available year-round, features natural sunlight, a dramatic historic fireplace, cathedral ceiling, and chandeliers. It is perfect for a ceremony or reception and seats up to 79 guests. The Gardens include a structured Wedding Garden, a Front Patio Garden with wrought-iron umbrella tables, a flexible Great Lawn, and a cozy Fire-Pit circle with four propane fire pits. There is also a multitude of picturesque nooks all around the grounds with stone walls, split rail fences, bench gliders, ponds, woods, and three-season plantings. The venue truly spoils the nearlyweds with choices.

Reviews of Battlefield Bed and Breakfast
Gettysburg Battlefield B&B Wedding Venue
Wow - the historic venue of my dreams
Connie took the time to not just hand us a list of preferred vendors but understand our dream for the wedding and give us tailored recommendations.
We had no needs from day before wedding when we arrived at 10 am to a fully decorated barn and beautiful rooms for all (don’t even think of not staying on site).
The full team rolled with all the punches with calmness making me unusually calm wedding day. Things went wrong, but no one let it effect my peace, wedding dreams, or happiness.

Love this venue! The barn was lovely and the property holds excellent photo opportunities.
If you are considering a venue in the Gettysburg area, the Battlefield needs to be on top of your list. This beautiful setting is second to none and their professionalism is unmatched. We have been lucky to capture some of our favorite memories at this location with a winter wedding in 2014 that is still one of the highlights from that year. While many venues are not known to allow photographers to use their property except for the day of the event, the Battlefield allows us to not only shoot engagement session there, but also other types of photography. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue and is one of our favorites in Central PA
Battlefield Bed + Breakfast is an absolutely gorgeous venue! :)
