Jennie Wade House in Gettysburg — view 2
The Jennie Wade House is known as the only civilian residence to be hit by a cannonball during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. This modest home served as a hospital for wounded soldiers and is preserved as a museum, offering insights into the life of Jennie Wade, who died here during the fighting. Plan to spend at least an hour exploring the exhibits that recount the story of the battle and the impact on local families. The house is located just a short walk from the Gettysburg National Cemetery and other significant battle sites, making it a convenient stop for those tracing the history of the area.

    Gettysburg ghost tour — Echoes of War

    This family-friendly tour explores haunted sites in Gettysburg and shares stories of the Civil War's impact on the town's residents, lasting about 90 minutes.

    We booked the 8pm ghost tour, designed for families, just a day in advance. Initially unsure about the experience, our adult group, which had no children, ended up thoroughly enjoying it. Allie, our guide, was exceptional, maintaining high energy and engaging storytelling throughout the nearly two-hour tour. Although the group was somewhat large at 25 participants, Allie handled it efficiently. The presence of pre-teens and teenagers added a fun dynamic to the experience. However, I would recommend that those with children under 12 consider waiting, as the stories, despite being tailored for the audience, could be too intense for younger kids.Ashley W on the Gettysburg ghost tour — Echoes of War tour

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening tour at Jennie Wade’s house. I had visited before with my daughter, and since Rick was our guide then, we specifically requested him again for this tour. He is outstanding! From the moment you meet him, you know you're in for a great experience. Rick is humorous, clever, and genuinely nice. He takes the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable asking questions. His expertise shines through as he shares fascinating stories and photos throughout the tour. We look forward to our next visit and highly suggest choosing Rick as your guide.Explorer48659706407 on the Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg tour
