Relax and unwind at our Bed and Breakfast.

Step back in time at the Langdon Hill House, a stunning Bed and Breakfast built in 1816 by Thomas McKelip. Nestled atop Baltimore Hill, this house became a strategic vantage point during the battle of Gettysburg.
This historic gem is steeped in captivating stories, with Confederate Lieutenant General Richard S Ewell standing just behind it, watching the fierce battle unfold on East Cemetery Hill. Imagine the soldiers who surrounded and occupied this very house, including the Hays Brigade, the infamous Louisiana Tigers.
The house was inevitably used for medical care after the battle with evidence of the wounded still visible.
Traces of history were found in the attic eaves. Remaining Confederate bullets stand as silent evidence to the house's wartime occupation. During our extensive restoration, additional fascinating artifacts were uncovered, each one revealing more about the house's remarkable past.
Come stay with us, and let the rich history of Langdon Hill House envelop you-it's an experience you won't soon forget

The Felty Room, located on the 2nd floor, is named after Dr. John Calvin Felty, a local farmer's son and town doctor who examined Civil War veterans seeking compensation for their war wounds. He also owned the house. An intriguing inscription adorns the wall of this largest room, measuring 328 sq ft, which faces Baltimore Street. The bathroom is equipped with a clawfoot tub and a separate shower.
Next is the Langdon Room, also on the 2nd floor, named in honor of Ron Langdon's 48 ancestors who fought in the Civil War. This room features a sword once wielded by Ron's 3rd great-grandfather. Additionally, Ron’s cousin, BG Loomis Langdon, who is reflected in wall photos, was the first to raise the US flag over Richmond in 1865 and served as the Chief of Artillery for the Army of the James. This room, the smallest at approximately 228 sq ft, offers views of the side yard and garden.
The McKelip Room, situated on the 2nd floor, is named after the original builder, Thomas McKelip, who constructed the house in 1816 to care for his orphaned siblings. This spacious room spans 296 sq ft and features a large bathroom, overlooking the side yard and garden.
On the 3rd floor, the Sharpshooter Nest is the second largest room at 304 sq ft. It faces Baltimore Street and was the site of the infamous Louisiana Tigers sharpshooters during the Civil War battle. Evidence of this history includes blood stains in the closet and Enfield bullets found between the walls. Part of the brick wall facing south on Baltimore Street was removed for sharpshooter access.
