President Abraham Lincoln sighted at

Our Corporate guests were treated to a surprise visit in our Drawing Rooms by the 16th President of the United States this winter. One of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania’s “most recognized” residents is nationally-renowned Lincoln actor and Lincoln historian, James A. Getty, who captivates audiences with his award-winning interpretation of our country’s 16th President. Getty brings Lincoln to life, presenting the President in a seminar-style session to Fortune 500 corporate executives, government leadership groups, and managers from across the country: literally anyone who faces the daily challenges of managing a team of people, and guiding them toward a common goal. For years, Getty has enlightened and entertained audiences across the country.  And, as a noted Lincoln historian, he specializes in uniquely tailoring his programs—specifically for corporate meetings and retreats and for other special events. President Lincoln would be happy to appear at your next Corporate Event at Antrim 1844! Please contact our Corporate Sales Director for more information.

Washintonian Magazine Sings The Praises of Antrim's 37 Fireplaces

Recently Antrim 1844 was featured in Washingtonian Magazine for its 20 inviting wood burning fireplaces.  Antrim’s 25 acres offers 11 outbuildings each with one or more wood burning or gas fireplaces. All of our fireplaces are ready to be used upon the guest’s arrival, so there is little left for the guest to do except enjoy the ambience of the soft glow of the fire.  As described in the article, “Guests can spend an evening at Antrim and not sit by the same fire twice.”  Not only do most of the guest rooms offer fireplaces to unwind by, many also offer Jacuzzi tubs or steam showers to add to the relaxing and romantic atmosphere of your getaway.

          “I have been to several inns with fireplaces but I must say that was the best     fireplace yet.  I appreciate the starter block and please thank the person who      prepared all the wood, cutting it down to sizes that burn easily."
