Is your group looking for event facilities in Pennsylvania for your next social or business gathering? Think Gettysburg. American history holds a special place in its heart for this land. It was there that Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most often quoted speeches ever, which begins "Four score and seven years ago." You and your guests can visit that glorious moment in history when you host your next event at Gettysburg College! The campus is located directly adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park, which encompasses the very National Cemetery that Abraham Lincoln dedicated with that famous speech on November 19, 1863, honoring the sacrifices of those who fought in the Civil War, in hopes that a "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." It was upon this rich tapestry that Gettysburg was built.
As a meeting place, Gettysburg College rises to the challenge. Not only is it historically significant, but it's centrally located! Just 54 miles from Baltimore, a mere 78 miles from the nation's capital, and just 118 miles from Philadelphia, the location of this extraordinary venue is another feature certain to excite your attendees. Just an hour from either Baltimore Washington or the Harrisburg airports, guests will be able to fly in and attend conferences the very same day! With the National Military Park right across the street, and both gift and necessities shopping equally close, attendees can take a stroll and tread in the very footsteps of giants like Lincoln, then return for another inspirational meeting in your event! The Gettysburg event facilities are open for daytime use during Winter and Spring breaks. Both daytime and overnight bookings are welcome for dates from May though August. Up to 1200 guests can be accommodated at once, in some 60 meeting and event rooms. The largest classroom seats 60, while as many a one thousand will be welcome at the theatre-style facility, which is ideal for presentations, seminars or lectures of any kind.
Technologically speaking: Phone and Internet data ports are available in all meeting, event and guest rooms. Most meeting spaces come well-equipped with state-of-the-art built-in amenities. To make the deal even sweeter, when your group books both lodging and dining, use of the meeting rooms and accompanying technology is free of charge!
Very few conference centers are as richly steeped in history as Gettysburg. Few venues provide so much value, and fewer yet provide such a wondrous living memory, as does Gettysburg College. Treat yourself and your guests to this amazing venue. You'll be glad you did, and your guests will thank you as well!
