One of my greatest abiding memories of my visit to Gettysburg PA. will be dinner at the Farnsworth House on Baltimore Street.
The Farnsworth House stands across the street from one corner of the Gettysburg National Cemetary, on the wall outside the loft window you can see a myriad of bullet marks where during the three day battle Union troops had fired upon the Confederate snipers who had occupied the attic room to fire down upon the Union troops across the street.

The food is delicious, and the dining room, though a little dark for my tastes is full of atmosphere with its heavy wood paneling and wooden floors.
Reservations are a must and the restaurant is often booked a few days in advance so please remain flexible on the daate for your dinner.
The Farnsworth House has a reputation for hauntings, a regular place for ghost hunter programs to visit. I would also recommend one of the Ghost Tours beginning from the Farnsworth House at dusk. They are very entertaining but wrap up warm as temperatures can fall quickly after dusk.
