Should Gettysburg Get A Casino?
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
This is a fitting topic for Independence Day, one of the most historic spots in the United States could soon become the neighbor of a massive casino project. Crossroads Gaming Resort and Spa is a four-star hotel, luxury spa, and restaurants located nearly three miles from the historic Gettysburg battlefield. ABC News reports that plans for the resort were first presented a year and a half ago but that some balk at the idea of a casino so near to this site. Preservationists and Civil War history buffs are predictably up in arms but locals are divided, some feel that the benefit to the local economy is needed. Local lawmakers recessed for the summer without voting on a gambling bill that could put an end to the project.
