Herr Tavern & Publick House

at Gettysburg Regional Airport

From Mike Marra on 03-May-2007

Visited W05 on 2 May 2007. Deserted airport - no services. Runway in great shape - very smooth. There is no shuttle to anything from the airport - be prepared to walk. 1/2 mile to Herr's Tavern on a busy road with trucks passing you at 40-50 mph. Walk is historic - same route the Rebs walked to assault Gettysburg in 1863. Food at Herr's Tavern is good but now pricey - expect a $10 lunch minimum. Overall OK experience.

To get to Herr’s; take a right on the main road when leaving the airport. It's not a far walk and is located at the traffic light over the hill on your right. And the Cream of Crab soup is out of this world!

I was just a visitor, so somebody who knows the story - please update us! Recent new owners who also bought Capitol City and others. There are no services but friendly locals are optimistic about improvements. Casinos seem to figure in on the picture. National Battlefield Park never seemed to generate the business.

I took the advice and decided to try out Herr Tavern Wednesday evening 6/7/2007. Good food at a very reasonable price. Great service, and they have tables outside if you can't handle the smoke from the smokers. I was sitting next to the only three people smoking at the bar. Speed limit on the road from W05 to the Tavern is 40 MPH and most people drive with some sense. Not a bad walk back to the airport. No side walks. Just a nice country road. I'll go back.
