Історична пішохідна екскурсія з гідом на півдня «Жінки Геттісбурга».

Огляд
Come on our History Walking Tour presented by Junket!

While history focuses on the famous, today we'll look at the ordinary people, especially women, who protected the vulnerable, cared for the sick and wounded, buried the dead, and made life as safe as possible for the families left behind as the men of the town went off to war. You'll discover the stories of women like Tillie Pierce, Jennie Wade, and Elizabeth Thorn, who have statues or houses named after them, as well as women like Mary McAllister, Sallie Myers, and Philinda Humiston, who are rarely mentioned in history books but had a major impact on this tight-knit community in some of its darkest hours.

The Sisters of Charity at St. Xavier Academy provided critical medical care, despite the horrors unfolding around them.

Their dedication to healing, regardless of which side a soldier fought for, made them unsung angels of Gettysburg.

A statue in her honor now stands in Evergreen Cemetery, a lasting tribute to the women who bore the unseen burdens of war.

Such a fun experience. We were lucky enough to do the tour during the Remembrance Day celebration of Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg address. Trevor did a great job navigating our experience during the tour and parade. So Much Fun! Well done Trevor!

This is probably the worst tour i have ever been on. The traffic was loud and overwhelming. The tour guide tried his best to talk over the cars, buses and motorcycles. It was impossible for the tour guide to compete with the loud noise from the street. This tour did not meet my expectations and I felt it was not worth the price of the ticket. I would not recommend this tour although I think the subject of courageous women is very important to civil war history.

Hi, Laura! We’re so sorry to hear that the noise from traffic disrupted your experience. We understand that it can be difficult to enjoy a tour when external factors like street noise make it hard to hear your guide. We appreciate you highlighting the importance of the tour’s subject matter, and we’ll be reviewing how we can improve the experience for future guests. Since your tour was a couple of months ago, we hope this has been resolved, but please feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you’d like further assistance.
