I’m absolutely loving the fall weather in Gettysburg right now! We’ve been experiencing cooler temperatures, sunny skies, and the leaves are starting to change. This weekend is no different with temperatures in the 70’s and late 60’s! This weekend is a perfect opportunity to take in the beautiful fall season in Gettysburg.
