The only Gettysburg tour provided by the Gettysburg Licensed Town Guides that highlights the fighting that occurred in the streets of Gettysburg. You will also hear stories about the heroic citizens who sacrificed everything to assist the soldiers. You will walk past houses and buildings and hear stories about what it was like to be a soldier and a civilian during those three seminal days in July.
The first shot fired at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, started the three-day battle. Citizens were in a turmoil with a growing flood of wounded men being brought into town. Between 3:30 & 4:30 pm the Union lines to the west & north of Gettysburg crumbled and soldiers converged into one blue mass moving through the town with Confederates on their heels. There was fighting in the streets, alleys & yards, as the town’s people sought refuge in their cellars as the war was brought to their doorsteps. Walk the streets and alleys with a Guide and hear the stories of the civilians who lived through these violent days as the battle spilled into the town of Gettysburg.
