Join Reluctant Witnesses walking tours for a walking tour of the Center portion of the town, the heartbeat of 1863 Gettysburg.

We will examine the accounts of several of the civilians of Gettysburg that lived in town. They were reluctant witnesses to the Battle of Gettysburg. We will discuss the existing structures and what the town looked like in 1863. We will describe the events of July 1863 and how those towns’ people remembered them.

This is a leisurely paced walk… No hiking… on paved roads…wheelchairs are manageable.
