Civilians Experience (Town Tour)
Come walk with us as we take you on a trip through Gettysburg’s history and discover details of the town during the battle. Listen to the stories of the civilians, who felt the bullets whistle by, heard the piteous sobs of the wounded and smelled the dead as they decomposed in the July heat. Find out how many civilians were killed or wounded. Learn how fewer than 2,300 men, women and children cared for the 22,000 wounded soldiers who were left behind when the two armies moved on. Hear the memories of President Lincoln’s visit in November 1863.
Danger & Courage (Southern-end Town Tour)
It was a “no man’s land” during the Battle of Gettysburg. Civilians on lower Baltimore Street and Steinwehr Avenue were trapped in the crossfire between Union and Confederate troops. On this tour you will hear about the tragic death of Jennie Wade, how civilians survived the battle, the fighting between the two sides in the streets, the aftermath of the battle, presidential visits, and some of Gettysburg’s early history.
8 Miles From Slavery (Black History Tour)

This walking tour presents stories of abolitionists, kidnappers, heroes, villains and significant events that made Gettysburg an important stop on a road to freedom.
