• Jennie Wade House - In 1863, as Confederate forces approached Gettysburg, Jennie Wade and her mother sought refuge here with Jennie’s sister, Georgia.

• Gettysburg National Cemetery - Soldiers were tasked with burying the fallen, both Union and Confederate, where they lay. Most graves were shallow, only 12 inches deep, as the army had to move on to other battles, leaving little 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. Initially fascinated by the battle, Tillie watched Union soldiers pass by, but the sound of cannons soon made her realize the danger. Even at the farm, she couldn’t escape the battle’s horrors.

• Gettysburg Heritage Center - While the Civil War battle put this town on the map, there are countless 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 - 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, Gettysburg’s buildings, including this courthouse, were converted into hospitals for the wounded. Doctors worked tirelessly to care for injured soldiers.

• Shriver House Museum - The home of Hettie Shriver, a typical story among Gettysburg residents post-battle. When the fighting began, Hettie and her family fled 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 establishing the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

• Gettysburg Hotel - Dating back to 1797, this building was originally a modest tavern owned by the prominent McClellan family before becoming the Gettysburg Hotel.

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

• GAR Building - Known as the Grand Army of the Republic Building, or GAR, it was established post-war to support Union veterans. It served as a gathering place for veterans to share stories and support each other in times of need.
