Overview

Gettysburg is a town marked by its significant role in the American Civil War, including President Abraham Lincoln's visit to deliver the Gettysburg Address. This one-hour walking tour focuses on the southern end of Gettysburg, guided by a licensed local expert from the town’s largest guide company. The group typically has fewer than ten participants. During the walk, the guide explains the town's history and the impact of the battle on civilians who lived there. Participants learn about the experiences of residents who endured the fighting, including how many civilians were killed or wounded, and how about 2,300 townspeople cared for over 22,000 wounded soldiers left behind after the armies moved on. The tour also covers the memory of Lincoln's visit in November 1863. This tour complements the 1:00 p.m. "Danger & Courage" tour by covering the opposing end of town.
