• 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 anxious about the impending battle and its impact on their town. When the conflict began days later, the family gathered in fear, hoping their door would not be breached by soldiers with bayonets.

• Gettysburg National Cemetery - Soldiers were tasked with burying the fallen, both Union and Confederate, where they lay. Many 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 - Hettie Shriver fled to her parents’ farm, accompanied by her family and 15-year-old neighbor, Tillie Pierce. Pierce was fascinated by the battle and watched Union soldiers pass by. However, as the cannons roared, she realized the danger. Even after escaping with Hettie, she could not avoid the battle’s horrors.

• Gettysburg Heritage Center - While the Civil War battle put this town on the map, 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.

Note: This tour spans over a mile and covers the highlights of Downtown Gettysburg in 1-1.5 hours.

• Gettysburg Museum of History - Home to 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 looting over the years. Despite efforts by residents and the government in 1863, some remains and gear were left on the battlefield, eventually disappearing over time.

• 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, was converted into a hospital. Wounded soldiers were brought here, where doctors worked tirelessly to treat their injuries.

• Shriver House Museum - The home of Hettie Shriver, a gentle woman whose story was common among Gettysburg residents post-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, a respected attorney and community leader in Gettysburg, was instrumental in organizing the creation of the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

• Gettysburg Hotel - This building, dating back to 1797, 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 figure beside Lincoln is unnamed, representing “the common man.” This symbolizes 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 post-war to support Union veterans. Here, veterans would gather, share stories, and support each other in times of need.
