Built in 1776\, it is the oldest building in Gettysburg\, celebrating its 250th birthday alongside the birthday of the United States of America in 2026. \nThe Dobbin House\, appearing virtually the same as it did over 200 years ago\, stands as testament to the fortitude of the American spirit as well as the quality of genuine American craftsmanship. Its native stone walls\, seven fireplaces\, and hand carved woodwork have been painstakingly restored to their original beauty and character\, with interior decor in the traditional eighteenth century manner. Many of the home’s antique furnishings are identical to those listed in the inventory of Rev. Dobbin’s estate. The china and flatware exactly match fragments which were unearthed during the re-excavation of the cellar. The servant’s period-clothing is authentic to the local area in the 18th century. \nThe Dobbin House features the Springhouse Tavern; casual dining\, the Alexander Dobbin Dining Rooms; fine dining\, the Abigail Adams ballroom; banquet dining\, the Gettystown Inn; a bed and breakfast in three historic buildings\, the Country Curiosity Store; boutique shopping and guided 4-century history tours of the house. \nAs an authentic colonial tavern\, many visitors say the allure of Dobbin House stays with them long after their visit. More than a superior culinary delight\, to step into the iconic house is an enchanting journey back to the charming quaintness and lively spirit of Gettysburg’s and America’s beginnings.
