The story of Gettysburg begins with one family. Samuel Gettys arrived from Northern Ireland seeking opportunity—and found it on the Pennsylvania frontier, where he built a tavern, supported the Continental cause, and helped anchor a growing settlement. But it was his son, James Gettys, who would shape the future. In 1786, he laid out 210 town lots, transforming a frontier crossroads into a bustling county seat. This program traces the Gettys family’s remarkable journey and the founding of one of America’s most iconic destinations. Dinner will be at 6 p.m. followed by the program at 7 p.m.  Registration is required.  The cost is $60 per person for dinner and the program.
