    We had the privilege of joining Bill and Bonnie on one of their horse-drawn carriage rides around…read morethe farm. Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

    From the owner: Come enjoy a one-hour horse-drawn carriage tour at Silvershire Farm just a 15 minute drive north of…read moredowntown Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Ride with us through the picturesque countryside landscapes and orchards of Adams County. In the spring witness the beauty of the orchards as the trees begin to blossom. In the fall view the majestic colors of the mountains and surrounding hills as the trees change to yellows, ambers, and scarlets of the fall. The rest of the year enjoy the beauty of the rolling hills, countryside fields, and orchards as they begin to fill up with various fruits and crops in preparation for harvest. Enjoy the leisurely and relaxing pace of your carriage as it is pulled by two gentle giants, our Shire draft horses. Along the way you will also see an Elk herd as well as a variety of other animals. We will narrate your journey with a history of the area during the Civil War Battle at Gettysburg, as well as that of the orchards and the history of the Shire horse. At the end of your one-hour ride, you can meet and take pictures with your team and feed them treats. *Kids and adults like this part of the tour.* Click the “Book Now” button on our website to view available tour dates.

    This is a serious tour. Neither the walking nor the historical content is for the craven! Your…read moreguide is an endless resource of knowledge about the area, and you will leave with stronger quads and more brain cells. My mom arranged for us to go on this tour, after having read positive reviews on another website. We didn't really know what we had in store for us, but she stumbled onto a local treasure. Once you park and (probably) hike your way toward the rendezvous point, you'll head inside a church lounge where you can sit comfortably and get some background information. Your guide will be dressed in historical garb, and he may even break out into song at various points, between deep-dive presentation of historical narrative. Okay, so costume and singing aren't usually my scene (and in fact, they sometimes make me cringe), but this expert is so totally in earnest that it was actually refreshing. How can you not respect someone with this level of knowledge and commitment? You really feel like you're seeing the area through a historical lens. Every sight you see is informed by the guide, which adds rich layers of context. I admit that I kind of felt weirdly sorry for the other area tourists who were roaming the place uninformed. Some of the rocks, rubble, ruins, trails, and geography you see played a role in American history that you might not recognize, and this awareness made so many of the local sights more enjoyable. You do plenty of walking. Bring water, and wear comfortable shoes and clothing. You will also have breaks from the walking to reconvene. The tour was such an experience that we actually had ice cream with the other tour group members afterward to rehash and decompress. The guide does a haunted tour that I haven't tried, but which he describes as more lighthearted. I'd totally go back for that, and I'd bring any history nerd who visits the area to the O Be JoyFull tour in a heartbeat. Not the right setting for someone who wants a more consumer-based or superficial visit to Harper's Ferry, though. They can wait for you at the ice cream parlor!

    It's not often I give 5 star reviews but, if you are a history buff I recommend Rick. Great in…read moredepth information told in a way that helps bring Harpers Ferry & the Civil War into focus. The day tours are lengthy, ~ 4hrs. If you want something shorter, then the ghost tour may do (I heard there's still history sprinkled in). Harper's Ferry is hilly so be prepared for that. Also, if you cross the railway bridge you can view the old canal.

    My husband and I, with our 11 & 14 year old kids in tow, went to Harper's Ferry for the ghost tour…read moreon a Monday night. Save for what we read on Trip Advisor, we didn't really know what to expect and, while the ratings were quite positive, I tend to take reviews with a grain of salt. That said, the tour was worth it. We spent the afternoon walking Harper's Ferry to get a bit of history on the place and when we arrived that evening for the tour, I felt like the overall visit to Harper's Ferry was enhanced, thanks to Rick Garland and his very engaging way of telling all these "ghost" stories that made the experience so enjoyable. The town has such an incredible story to tell, from both a historical and even paranormal standpoint. With a knowledgeable "living" historian leading the way, even skeptics may find themselves questioning their beliefs especially after Rick recounts some of the park rangers' experiences. I always say...never say "never"... On a side note, the hubby and I went to Gettysburg the following day and wish we had the opportunity sign up with Rick on a tour because I'd bet money that he would be just as enlightening on that historical "town" tour as he had been on this one. Also, the "lower town" of Harper's Ferry pretty much closes shop between 5 and 6 except for the Secret Six restaurant that stays open a little later. The nearest public restroom is across from the national park visitor center at the lower end of this hilly town. You'll want to pay it a visit before heading out on your tour. The Harper's Ferry train station is still active with commuter trains coming and going quite frequently so the tour will get occasionally disrupted but hey-it's part of the charm! And the best meal you'll find is not at the restaurants (they all seem rather expensive) but at the ice cream shops to help cool you off on a humid summer day. As for the views, I dare you to complain. And for those who thought this tour was lame, I think you missed the point. You should have gone to a carnival haunted house instead.

    Highly recommend this ghost tour! Educational and fun. Scary but not too scary. Good for the…read morewhole family. Tour lasted almost 2 hrs but time went by fast. Cool thing about this tour is Harper's Ferry pretty much becomes a ghost town after 5/6PM with only 1 or 2 restaurants open. The empty town really adds to the great atmosphere!!
