Civilian Experience Town Tour

Enjoy your time in Gettysburg by reserving a walking tour with a Town Guide. We are open 7 days a week and offer a large array of tours. All of our tours are uniquely designed by each Guide and we use historic photographs and actual civilian accounts to relate the events that occurred in the town.

On the Civilian Experience Town Tour, 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.
