• Jennie Wade House - In 1863, as Confederate forces approached Gettysburg, Jennie Wade and her mother sought refuge here with Jennie’s sister, Georgia. They were deeply concerned about the impending battle and its impact on their town. When the conflict began days later, the family gathered together, hoping their door would remain secure from bayonet-wielding soldiers.

• Gettysburg National Cemetery - Soldiers were dispatched to bury the fallen, both Union and Confederate, where they lay. Most graves were only a foot deep, as the army had other battles to attend to and lacked time for proper burials.

• Tillie Pierce House Inn - When Hettie Shriver fled to her parents’ farm, she was accompanied by her family and her 15-year-old neighbor, Tillie Pierce. Pierce was fascinated by the prospect of battle and watched Union soldiers pass by. However, once the cannons roared, she realized the danger. Even after escaping with Hettie to the farm, she couldn’t avoid the battle’s horrors.

• Gettysburg Heritage Center - While the Civil War battle brought fame to this town, there are many more stories beyond those of soldiers and armies. This walking tour reveals what the Civil War in Gettysburg meant for the everyday people caught in its midst.

• Gettysburg Museum of History - This museum houses one of the largest private collections of Civil War artifacts in the nation, with over 4,000 items. Although collections like this were legally acquired, Gettysburg has experienced significant looting over the years. Despite efforts by residents and the government in 1863, some bodies and equipment were left on the battlefield. Whether in shallow graves or hard-to-find locations, these remains eventually vanished.

• Witness Tree - This tree is notable not only for the battle but also because Abraham Lincoln passed by it on his way to deliver the Gettysburg Address.

• Adams County Court House - As the battle unfolded and casualties mounted, every available building, including this courthouse, became a hospital. Wounded soldiers were brought here, where doctors worked tirelessly to treat their injuries.

• Shriver House Museum - This was the residence of Hettie Shriver, a gentle woman whose story was common among Gettysburg residents after the battle. When the fighting began, Hettie chose to flee with her family to her parents’ farm three miles south of town.

• David Wills House - David Wills, an attorney and a key figure in the Gettysburg community, was responsible for organizing the creation of the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

• Gettysburg Hotel - Dating back to 1797, this building was not always the Gettysburg Hotel. It began as a modest tavern, once owned by the notable McClellan family.

• Lincoln Statue at Wills House - The man beside Lincoln is unnamed, symbolizing “the common man.” This represents the ongoing significance of Gettysburg and Lincoln to ordinary people today.

• GAR Building - Known as the Grand Army of the Republic Building, or GAR, it was established by the government post-war to support Union veterans. Here, veterans would gather, share stories, and support each other in times of need.
