2013 is the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and we will offer Special Events throughout the year. Unfortunately we do not have any rooms available from July 1-7, 2013 but please come see us any other time of the year!

Paranormal Investigations

Join us as guests of the Lightner Farmhouse for a private, guest only Paranormal Investigation led by Gettysburg Paranormal Society founder, Betty Roche. This can be scheduled any day with 24 hours notice. Betty will give an introductory talk citing her investigative work and the equipment she uses, followed by an opportunity to walk the property and go into a building where orbs and ectoplasm are routinely photographed. Bring your digital camera for an unforgettable experience. This is a 2 hour program which includes sites both on and off the Farm property for a fee of $25 per and the tour runs from 8-10 PM in season and from 6-8 PM in the off season. Betty can be contacted directly by sending her an email.

History and Hospitality Weekends on the Farm

Sponsored by the Inns of the Gettysburg Area and hosted by Dennis and Eileen at the Lightner Farmhouse, these weekends are an escape into history and hospitality. Please phone us at (866) 337-9508 for more information. The Lightner Farmhouse was used as a Civil War hospital by the 1st Corp of the Federal army following the Battle of Gettysburg. Much if its history has been preserved and the Hoovers are happy to share it with you. Feel free to borrow a battlefield auto tour for your free time during the weekend.
