Reluctant Witnesses – Gettysburg Historic Town Walking Tours
548 Baltimore Street
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

The Historic Walking Town Tour, “Jennie Wade’s Baltimore Street,” is a two-hour guided experience that follows in the footsteps of Gettysburg’s most famous civilian, Jennie Wade. Presented by Horse Tours of Gettysburg, the tour is led by town historian Ken Rich, who recounts the events of July 1863 and shares how the residents of Gettysburg remembered those extraordinary days.

With a 4.9-star rating based on 443 Google reviews, the tour offers an in-depth look at the southern portion of town, focusing on Baltimore Street and its significance during the Battle of Gettysburg. Participants visit the homes where Jennie Wade lived and was associated, examine firsthand accounts from civilians who resided along Baltimore Street, and explore how the street’s existing structures compare to the town’s appearance in 1863.

The tour begins in the parking lot outside the Jennie Wade Museum and proceeds several blocks along Baltimore Street. On the return route, guests visit the site of Jennie Wade’s home on Breckenridge Street before concluding back at the Jennie Wade House. The walk is leisurely paced and takes place on paved roads, making it manageable for wheelchairs. The experience lasts approximately two hours.
