Itinerary
You will enter through the same doorway through which a bullet passed on July 3rd 1863, killing young Jennie Wade and making her the only civilian to be killed during the battle of Gettysburg. The cellar, and its unhappy resident, await your visit. The ghostly tales told in this house have been recorded in numerous books and television specials. Come see for yourself why this humble home has been featured on Travel Channel’s list of the most haunted houses. Click here for additional information on the history of Jennie Wade House.

Traveler reviews
Our guide was fantastic! ...
Our guide was fantastic! She was very informative and funny! She told us that she herself was a skeptic until she experienced some things on her own and during her tours. We also had an experience that we can't explain!
Great ghost tour
Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. She told stories, and even handed out EMF readers to some of us, making the experience even better.
