Keep in mind with many of these ghost tours: It all depends on who you get. If you have a really great tour guide who is a magnificent storyteller, you will have a great experience. If you have a tour guide who is a poor storyteller, there is a much greater chance you will dislike the tour. We did the... more

The Jennie Wade House has the potential to be a truly amazing historic destination that can be experienced by thousands of people from around the world. This is the place of the only civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg. We arrived around two in the afternoon, went inside to purchase tickets from two especially snippy women, the second of... more

Ok so I will be the first to tell you I don't really believe in these things. I heard they were on the travel channel's most haunted which didn't impress me much I think those ladies are pretty fake. But I figured I couldn't visit gettysburg and NOT go on a ghost tour right? So me and my best friend... more

The house has the scars of an actual Civil War Battle that took place here in Gettysburg 145 years ago. Caught between the battle lines of the North and the South, a young woman Jennie Wade was killed while baking bread for soldiers of the Battle. If you are into history, you will love to tour this house. The only... more

I just toured the Jenny Wade house today , May 31, 2009. When I asked the "tour guide" a question, I felt she got a littly snitty with me. Then after she finished her part of the tour, she left us with the "soldier" with the styrofoam face. I chuckled a but when it started to talk. (It was only... more

O.K. so I will say that the "History tour" at the Jennie Wade house is a little bit dry, bad, or even wrong! but the GHOST TOUR is worth the trip!!! We came on a saturday night and it was really crowded, no parking!! Our guide seemed a little "out there" at first but as the tour went on she... more

Wouldn't recommend this place, and I'm a big history junky and museum nerd. $7 and some change for adult, tour guide takes you to two rooms in house (small house) and then leaves. You use your tour brochure (8.5x11 paper copy) and walk around the house (once again, a very small house). For the same price you can go to... more
