Dobbin House

A Brief History: Located at 89 Steinwehr Avenue, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is The Dobbin House Tavern. The Dobbin House was built in 1776 by Reverend Alexander Dobbin for himself and his family to begin a life in what is now The United States of America. Some 87 years later during the American Civil War the home may have been a part of the Underground Railroad. It is speculated that during the Battle of Gettysburg and following its mayhem the Dobbin house served as a temporary field hospital. Still standing today, The Dobbin House is a popular restaurant, a registered historical site , as well as the oldest standing structure in Gettysburg.
