Civilian’s Experience Town Tour: An Expanded Gettysburg Walking 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 2 armies moved on. Hear the memories of President Lincoln’s visit in Nov. 1863.

Reservations are required. The cost is $30/adult; $10 for a student; children under 9 are free.

Tours can also be arranged at other times of the day.

The Gettysburg Licensed Town Guides are the oldest and largest tour group in the town.
