Enjoy a glass of 100-year-old, barrel-aged wine over dinner while cannons fire in the distance at the advancing enemy. Stroll the pristine, brick-lined byways and back alleys, but make sure to dodge the Confederate soldiers limping back from battle.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is an American town where past and present collide, as the Union and Confederate armies once collided in 1863 in one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles. The Union may have prevailed that day, but over 50,000 dead men on both sides scarred the city forever.

Visitors to the historic Farnsworth House, the Daniel Lady Farm, the Rupp House Tannery, and more have reported sightings of ghostly visages of Civil War-era scenes, replaying for an audience they can’t even see.

Gettysburg is supremely charming—and supremely haunted—and both are great reasons to pay a visit.
