The 1776 Dobbin House and the 1776 United States of America share revolutionary roots! Both were born in a climate of resistance to oppression, shaped by pioneers and revolutionaries determined to build a society rooted in liberty. Both embody the spirit of the frontier and the ideals of faith and independence- and in 2026, both will celebrate their 250th birthday.
Together, these shared anniversaries represent the intertwined legacy of local and national revolution: one a stone structure that sheltered freedom seekers; the other a political framework that declared freedom for thirteen colonies.
We proudly invite guests to step inside the 18th century when entering the Dobbin House. Within, you can sit awhile and drink in the history of the sturdy stone walls that have borne witness to America’s struggles for freedom across centuries, including the American Revolution and the Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg. Here, the colonial ambiance reflects who we were, affirms pride in who we are, and inspires a vision of who we strive to be.
Having watched Ken Burn’s American Revolution and Civil War series, we hope all who visit here develop a sense of bonding with Rev. Dobbin and the other settlers and soldiers who came before us and come away feeling that Gettysburg and the Dobbin House are a part of your own story and history.
