The Alexander Dobbin House in Gettysburg: A Short History

One of Gettysburg's most popular restaurants is also its oldest building- and one of its most historic.

Built in 1776 for Reverend Alexander Dobbin, the house has been witness to historic political and religious meetings, students gathering for class, slaves seeking refuge on "The Underground Railroad," and to the Battle of Gettysburg. To read about the Dobbin House is to read about the history of Gettysburg, and stirring moments in our nation's history.
