The Dobbin House

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. It consistently wins Mobil Guide's highest
area rating. The friendly hospitality of the Dobbin House extends to the Springhouse Tavern,
Gettystown Bed and Breakfast, Country Curiosity Store, Abigail Adams Ballroom, in-house
bakery and secret "underground railroad" slave hideout.
