Done with the routine yuletide celebration and looking to kick up the excitement this New Year? We thought so. BnBFinder.com has put together a slew of ways to ring in 2011, and not a single one is the least bit boring. Whether you’re looking to solve a crime or strap on oversized snowshoes, we’ve got a new adventure to help you ring in the New Year.

Party Like its 1863. Smack-and-center in the heart of a Gettysburg battlefield is the Doubleday Inn. Located directly on the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the inn is surrounded by 42 monuments within ¼ mile that commemorate the cavalry, infantry and artillery fighting that took place there on July 1st, 1863. This New Year, the town has a free holiday celebration in its historic Lincoln Square, complete with live music and midnight fireworks – also visible from the battlefield at the inn. Doubleday’s New Year’s package includes a two night stay, romantic 7-course tasting menu at a restaurant that was once one of the oldest hostelries in the region, and a late-service breakfast on New Year's Day.
