I went to seminary there!
I actually went to Gettysburg College... lived there for 3.5 years...
and then I commuted there through seminary.
So I was not a mom or aware of that aspect when I was living there... but it's a nice area, very walkable depending on where you live, and definitely close enough to drive to resources in MD and PA...

My friend had a homebirth there with a midwife from Maryland. The crunchy stuff is all over the border in Maryland, LOL! There's a great natural food store called The Rose Garden. We haven't been there in 7 years, so I'm sorry if this is outdated info! |

My parents live in York and so I know a little bit about the area. I also know a homebirth midwife in York and attended a homebirth in Yorkana back in 2005 so there are homebirthers and crunchy things out that way.

Farmer's stands, local produce...there are a ton of small farms there. I found it really easy to eat locally when we lived there.

There's a great mom's group on Yahoo Meetup in York called York's Natural Minded Mommies. Check them out!

The town has a great little downtown with restaurants and antique/history stores. Good hiking in the area. I am in my first trimester and thus do not know about momma groups or midwives in the area, but I am on the hunt. |

Not that I've been looking for a job recently, but I think the economy is doing fairly well here and a p/t evening weekend job shouldn't be an issue. Gettysburg is known for it's tourism, so there should be plenty of summer jobs. I think there are plenty of diehard Civil War enthusiasts to keep the economy going in Gettysburg.
Very beautiful area to live, lots to do, but still with a small town feel!
Originally Posted by madis81 Sounds like a nice place to live. I love to eat local produce... tastes so much better then the store bought food. Can anyone tell me about jobs there? If we move there my DH will have a FT position, but I'll need to find a PT evening/weekend job. |
