Join us at Historic Union Mills for the biggest Willys Jeep Show in Maryland! Last year we had nearly 45 historic Jeep vehicles present! This event is open to historic Military Jeep vehicles (including GPW’s), as well as all Willys and Kaiser Jeep era vehicles (CJ’s, Pick-ups, Jeepsters, Wagons, etc.) There is no registration fee. Donations and T-shirt sales benefit the Historic Union Mills Homestead Foundation. Swap meet vendors are encouraged to make a modest donation to support the event.

Trophies will be awarded as follows: Best CJ, Best Military, Best “Non-Jeep” Willys, Best Work in Progress, and Chairman’s Choice.

Kountry Kafe Katering will be present with their pit beef rig and other food!

Know Where 2 Jeep and Adams Jeep & Extreme Off-Road will be there too!

Gettysburg Run: Why not make it a weekend event? We will do a 3 hour Gettysburg Battlefield tour on Saturday the 20th. This is open to all new and old Jeeps. We will meet at the Gettysburg Outlet Shoppes at 12 noon, by the movie theater complex. If your friends and family members do not want to join the Battlefield tour, the can see a movie, dine, and shop the outlets while we cruise Gettysburg! The Outlets are located at the intersection of US-15 and PA-97, Between Littlestown and Gettysburg, PA.

On Saturday evening, a number of us usually gather at Gary & Dell’s Crab House in Union Mills to eat Maryland steamed crabs (and lots of other food), drink a few beers, and tell lies about our Jeeps!

There are numerous Hotels, Motels, and B&B’s in the Gettysburg, PA and Westminster, MD area!
To register for the Gathering, simply send me an e-mail and let me know what type of Willys / Jeep vehicle you plan to bring. There is no rain date, so plan accordingly!
