1

Gettysburg Heritage Center

While the Civil War battle here made a name for this town, there are far more stories to tell than just those of soldiers and armies. With this walking tour, get ready to find out what the Civil War Gettysburg meant for everyday people caught up in it all.

2

Jennie Wade House

As Confederate troops advanced on Gettysburg in 1863, Jennie Wade and her mother fled here to stay with Jennie’s sister Georgia. They were terrified of the coming battle and what it would mean for their town. When the fighting erupted a few days later, the family huddled together and prayed no one would break down their door with bayonets drawn.

3

Shriver House Museum

This was home to Hettie Shriver, a mild-mannered woman whose story was all too familiar to Gettysburg residents after the battle. When the fighting first broke out, Hettie decided to flee with her family to her parents’ farm three miles south of town.

4

Gettysburg Museum of History

This is one of the largest private collections of Civil War artifacts in the entire country, featuring more than 4,000 total artifacts. Collections like this one were obtained legally, but Gettysburg has seen its fair share of looting over the years. Even with the joint effort of residents and the government in 1863, some bodies and bits of gear were left on the battlefield. Whether they were in shallow graves or just hard-to-find places, those remains simply disappeared over time.

5

Lincoln Statue at Wills House

The man standing next to Lincoln doesn’t have a name — and that’s exactly the point! He’s “the common man.” The idea is to illustrate the continued importance of Gettysburg and Lincoln to everyday folks in the modern era.

David Wills House

David Wills was an attorney and a pillar of the Gettysburg community. He was also the man responsible for organizing the creation of the Gettysburg National Cemetery!

7

Gettysburg National Cemetery

Teams of soldiers went out and buried these men where they had fallen, Union and Confederate alike. Most graves were only 12 inches deep. The army had other battles to fight and no time to properly bury their dead.

8

GAR Building

This is the Grand Army of the Republic Building or GAR for short. The government established it after the war to support Union veterans. Here, veterans would gather, share stories, and look after one another in times of need.

Centre du patrimoine de Gettysburg

Alors que la bataille de la guerre civile ici a fait un nom pour cette ville, il y a bien plus d'histoires à raconter que celles des soldats et des armées. Avec cette visite à pied, préparez-vous à découvrir ce que la guerre civile de Gettysburg signifiait pour les gens ordinaires pris dans tout cela.

26

Maison Jennie Wade

Alors que les troupes confédérées avançaient sur Gettysburg en 1863, Jennie Wade et sa mère s'enfuirent ici pour rester avec la sœur de Jennie, Georgia. Ils étaient terrifiés par la bataille à venir et ce que cela signifierait pour leur ville. Lorsque les combats ont éclaté quelques jours plus tard, la famille s'est regroupée et a prié pour que personne ne défonce sa porte avec des baïonnettes tirées.

27

Musée de la maison Shriver

C'était la maison de Hettie Shriver, une femme aux manières douces dont l'histoire n'était que trop familière aux habitants de Gettysburg après la bataille. Lorsque les combats ont éclaté pour la première fois, Hettie a décidé de fuir avec sa famille vers la ferme de ses parents à cinq kilomètres au sud de la ville.

28

Musée d'histoire de Gettysburg

Il s'agit de l'une des plus grandes collections privées d'artefacts de la guerre civile dans tout le pays, avec plus de 4 000 artefacts au total. Des collections comme celle-ci ont été obtenues légalement, mais Gettysburg a connu sa juste part de pillage au fil des ans. Même avec l'effort conjoint des résidents et du gouvernement en 1863, certains corps et pièces d'équipement ont été laissés sur le champ de bataille. Qu'ils se trouvent dans des tombes peu profondes ou simplement dans des endroits difficiles à trouver, ces restes ont tout simplement disparu avec le temps.

29

Statue de Lincoln à Wills House

L'homme qui se tient à côté de Lincoln n'a pas de nom - et c'est exactement le but ! Il est "l'homme du commun". L'idée est d'illustrer l'importance continue de Gettysburg et de Lincoln pour les gens ordinaires à l'ère moderne.

30

Maison David Wills

David Wills était un avocat et un pilier de la communauté de Gettysburg. Il était également l'homme responsable de l'organisation de la création du cimetière national de Gettysburg !

31

Cimetière national de Gettysburg

Des équipes de soldats sont sorties et ont enterré ces hommes là où ils étaient tombés, unionistes et confédérés. La plupart des tombes n'avaient que 12 pouces de profondeur. L'armée avait d'autres batailles à mener et n'avait pas le temps d'enterrer correctement ses morts.

32

Bâtiment GAR

C'est le bâtiment de la Grande Armée de la République ou GAR en abrégé. Le gouvernement l'a créé après la guerre pour soutenir les anciens combattants de l'Union. Ici, les anciens combattants se rassemblaient, partageaient des histoires et prenaient soin les uns des autres en cas de besoin.

33

Jennie Wade House

As Confederate troops advanced on Gettysburg in 1863, Jennie Wade and her mother fled here to stay with Jennie’s sister Georgia. They were terrified of the coming battle and what it would mean for their town. When the fighting erupted a few days later, the family huddled together and prayed no one would break down their door with bayonets drawn. Buy once, use for one year!
