Congratulations!
Celebrate with us! 🎉 We've reached 50,000 followers on Dobbin House social media, and to mark this milestone, we're kicking off our guided house tours this weekend! Sign up online for one of our weekend tours, available at 10:00am, each weekend through November 16, 2025.
Our house, the oldest in Gettysburg, was built in the same year that the United States of America was founded - 1776! This popular and highly rated 60-minute presentation highlights the story of Rev. Alexander Dobbin and the frontier home he built for his family of 20 children. His 249-year-old stone home spans three centuries of American history, from the Revolutionary War, through the Civil War, to today. Interpreters use artifacts, some dating to the 18th century, to evoke the lifestyle of the colonists of early America. A $5 gratuity per person is appreciated for our entertaining tour guides.
