General Information: This free, annual event is for Willys Jeep owners, Jeep enthusiasts, and the general public to share information and view a rapidly disappearing piece of American automotive history! Union Mills Homestead is a beautiful park setting rich in Civil War History, so be sure to take the tour! Pit Beef and refreshments will be available!

Gettysburg Battlefield Run: For those interested in making this a weekend event, we will hold a Gettysburg Battlefield run (paved surfaces) on Saturday October 26th (Day before the Show), weather permitting. We will meet at 12:00 noon at the Gettysburg Outlets (US 15 and PA 97) by the theater complex. On the evening of the 26th, we will meet at Gary & Dell’s Crab House near Union Mills to dine and socialize.

Know Where 2 Jeep, Adams Extreme Off-Road, BTW Off-Road, and Hanson Mechanical will all be at the Willys Gathering this year! Let them know in advance if you need a special part, I'm sure they will be happy to throw it on the truck for you!

The pit beef (ham & turkey) vendor will be there too!

UPDATE:

Yes, the Gettysburg National Military Park is closed due to the Government Shutdown. If our elected officials cannot get their act together by the time we do the "Battlefield Tour," I have a Plan B! We will meet at the same time and place on Oct. 26th. We will follow our guide into Gettysburg, where we will park our Jeeps and go on a walking tour of sites significant to the battle in July 1863.


You know us Jeep folk are always prepared! All we need is some sunshine!

Woo Hoo! 
 
The 7th Annual Mason Dixon Willys Jeep Gathering was a huge success!

We tripled the number of military vehicles this year and were once again blessed with sunshine for the Gettysburg run and the show!

Special thanks to Jenn (Brrrrrr!) Watson and Dave Watson! I couldn't have done it without you!
