Description: Cathy’s Country Home is a country-style house 5 miles east of Lincoln Square in which fine home furnishings for every room of your house are displayed on three floors. Each room setting is completely decorated with all the details that complete a room, not just the main furniture. Nooks and crannies can be found throughout the house, especially on the third floor, so be sure not to miss any rooms. Cathy’s Country Home opened in 1991, and although it’s a bit out of town, most tourists who visit the store end up returning on subsequent trips to Gettysburg. Closed Tuesday.

Description: If you’re an aficionado of contemporary art, be sure to stop by this place, which is located about 5 miles west of the square. The outside of the property is decorated with traditional lawn and garden ornaments, and inside the store you’ll find modern art and pottery, much of it in southwestern or Egyptian style.

Description: Battlefield Souvenirs sits in a late 19th-century brick building between its two sister stores, Stoneham’s Armory (see the Military Memorabilia Shops section of the GNMP chapter) and Habitat (see this chapter’s Fine Gifts and Home Accents section). T-shirts, baseball caps, toy soldiers, and other Gettysburg memorabilia join educational games, puzzles, and cards to create a huge selection of souvenirs for kids and adults to enjoy poring over. I especially like to stop and read the many plaques that line both sides of the walls as I climb the stairs. Upstairs you’ll find a variety of country crafts and dolls among the interesting items on display.

Description: The partners who own these shops keep each location chock-full. The store at 213 Steinwehr used to house the Conflict Museum, and the store at 27 Steinwehr was formerly called Bases Loaded. The partners changed the name to reflect that there’s lots more here than baseball-card collections. Most noticeable are the abundance of T-shirts for sale. More than 350 styles are available, and they are displayed everywhere, even as you go up the staircase to the rooms above. The store at 213 Steinwehr has a more orderly layout, with a wide range of souvenirs on display as well as T-shirts and leather vests and jackets.
