Today features a unique new immersive tour near Gettysburg – Mountain Spies.  The Catoctin Mountains were never meant to be extraordinary; their greatest advantage was their ability to remain overlooked.  However, during World War II and the Cold War, this tranquil mountain landscape transformed into one of America’s essential intelligence corridors.  It became a site for OSS spy training, home to Fort Ritchie and the Ritchie Boys, military intelligence operations, Camp David, and significant Cold War continuity planning.

This tour highlights the landscapes where American intelligence evolved from wartime improvisation into a lasting national security enterprise.  Discover the remarkable people, places, and events that have shaped American intelligence history.

Following the tour, enjoy lunch in a Historic Mansion House.  Mansion House 1757 once served as a colonial meeting house, a stagecoach stop, an Underground Railroad site, and a Civil War hospital.

Returning to Gettysburg, enjoy some free time to relax or freshen up before dinner.

This evening, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant plus a visit with the Historic First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower.  A costumed interpreter portraying Mamie Eisenhower will visit with your group and talk about her life and experiences from 1953 to 1961 when she was the wife of United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the First Lady of the United States. (B,L,D)

After breakfast, visit the Eisenhower National Historic Site, the home of President & First Lady Mamie Eisenhower.  The farm served the President as a weekend retreat and “Temporary White House” for U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower during the height of the Cold War.

As time allows, the group can take a walking tour of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery.  This is the final resting place for more than 3,500 United States soldiers killed at Gettysburg.  Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address at the cemetery’s dedication on November 19, 1863.
