HGAC Historic Barns Tour
of Gettysburg & Adams County
Welcome to the 2024 HGAC Historic Barns Tour!
The Tour will start at the Round Barn on Cashtown Road in Biglerville. Checkin will run from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants will receive a tour booklet with information about the Tour and a map showing the locations of the barns, as well as other points of interest. After exploring the Round Barn, participants may then drive to any barn, in any order and stay as long as they like.
The Round Barn where the Tour starts is usually open to the public, but the other five historic barns on the Tour are privately owned and will be open exclusively for the HGAC Barn Tour. The tour ends at 4 p.m.
There will be fun and educational activities at each barn including a timber framing demonstration, and living history characters demonstrating arts and crafts, farm-related activities and even live music from the period of the 1800's when the barns on the Tour were built.
A special activity for youth attending the Barn Tour will be "Barn Quest," a scavenger hunt to identify architectural features of historic barns. Barn Quest is presented by the HGAC Investing in Youth Initiative. Prizes for completing Barn Quest will be presented. The deadline to complete the Barn Quest challenge is October 31.
To purchase advance registrations for the HGAC Historic Barns Tour, tickets will be available online here on EventBrite. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the event at the Round Barn.
This event is presented by Historic Gettysburg-Adams County (HGAC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1975 to foster the preservation and interpretation of culturally significant structures and sites in Gettysburg and Adams County, Pennsylvania.
