Four Score and Seven years before the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, (1776),
Reverend Alexander Dobbin built a house to begin a new life in America for himself and
his family. Today his home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a colonial
restaurant where candlelit elegance, superior food in abundance, and gracious service bring back
the sights, sounds and tastes of two centuries ago. The friendly hospitality of the Dobbin House
extends to the Springhouse Tavern, Gettystown Bed and Breakfast, Country Curiosity Store and the Abigail Adams Ballroom. Dine in any of our two historical restaurants, The Springhouse Tavern which serves pub grub or eat upstairs in the main house which is casual fine dining.
