What To Expect

Gettysburg

Your guide will orient you to the area of East Cemetery Hill which is the location of heavy fighting during the Battle of Gettysburg before you enter the National Soldiers Orphanage Homestead. This building was used as the headquarters for General O.O. Howard during the battle and was also use as a hospital during and after the battle. After the end of the Civil War the building was turned into an orphanage for children whose fathers were lost during the American Civil War. That is where our story begins...

We went on the orphanage tour with Mike as our tour guide. He did an amazing job not only telling us about the orphanage, but really put in so much effort into getting into character, was passionate about the ghosts, the history, the orphanage, and the town. We couldn’t ask for a better guide. Thanks!

What an incredible piece of Gettysburg history that people rarely think about. Our tour guide, Michael, was incredible. His story telling skills and personality are top notch. This is by far the best ghost tour I've ever taken. I would highly recommend it. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, the history lesson alone is worth the tour.

The undertaker made this experience very informative, creepy, thrilling and suspenseful. I loved it! I definitely recommend him to be your tour guide/enterainer.
