You could visit the site where Andrew Jackson bravely led his troops to victory and gave the other side a stern talking to.

There's a Civil War battlefield somewhere near there. You might be interested in that. I think it's by the gift shop. |

Worked there for 17 years, have done precious little as a tourist.
But things that come to mind are ghost tours, a segway tour of parts of the battlefield, Eisenhower Farm, the diorama. And driving/walking the battle field to see Devil's Den, the monuments, etc. I think there are horse trail rides too. There are some shops downtown, but nothing spectacular I don't think. There's outlet shopping and the Gateway Theater (Civil War-themed movies, I guess). There's the Land of Little Horses! I don't know how exciting any of that is; if you can't make a full weekend out of Gettysburg proper you could also go up to Hershey (HersheyPark) or Lancaster (Amish stuff, more shopping). They're both maybe an hour drive.

Take time to get into the battle. The entire city is basically the battlefield. We did a self guided audio tour which took the better part of a day. Stopping to get out and around those famous places where all this took place is a real reflective moment.
Cuervo is on about Hershey and Lancaster. I really liked the whole area, but after the battlefield there's really not much else besides shopping. The area itself is awesome though.

Rent bikes and ride around for a few hours. It is moderately hilly, but is a nice way to see the sights.
Gettysburg is also a college town, so you probably have all the quirky off-the-wall stuff that comes with that.
