I just got back from Gettysburg-I don't know if you'd call it "odd" but I would do a ghost tour. One thing I will say is if you don't like heat, wait until September.
Yea, the summer can be a lot hotter and more humid in south central PA. than a lot of folks realize. We moved here last year from the Poconos. Some days it seems like we accidentally moved to South Carolina. March in the mountains often meant the end of ski season, and waiting for the snow to finally melt. Here it's watching the Amish getting the fields plowed as the first flowers bloom. Summers can be brutal at times, and often 10-15 degrees hotter than other parts of the state. The other benefit of waiting until September to visit this part of the country is that the crowds really thin out. There are eight million+ tourists visiting Lancaster county, every year. There are times it feels like 95% of those visits take place on Saturdays from Memorial day to Labor day :) Touring the area, mid-week, in September, can be gloriously lonely, and a great experience.
