During your hour-long excursion, you will listen to your hostess recount stories of Union wagon trains which stretched for miles along Baltimore Pike, venture to the haunted pond which lays below "the Lost Avenue", or as historian call it, "Neill Avenue". General Neill's brigade occupied these woods until July 5th, 1863, his mission, to guard the right flank of the Union Army and more importantly, protect Baltimore Pike. For the soldiers stationed here, the Lost Avenue was about snipers in the shadows, skirmishes in the woods, and withering gun fire from the woods, fields, and behind stone walls which killed or wounded more than 20 Union soldiers. During your haunted farm tour, we invite you to use ghost hunting equipment, toast a marshmallow or two, and experience the untouched landscape where soldiers once roamed. There are steps to get into the hay wagon and is not wheel chair accessible

from the moment you arrived at the location, you were greeted with warmth and friendliness. The host offered drinks and snacks around a bonfire, which was a lovely touch. The the hayride was positively breathtaking as you had an opportunity to travel amongst the property which coincidentally was part of the battlefield of the Civil War. They even took you back to the lake on their property. What was fantastic is that this is the only tour in Gettysburg that permits visitors to be on a battlefield area after dark. What I enjoy the most is that the hosts did not focus purely on paranormal content, but rather about the history of the battle on their property as well as experiences that they have had since taking ownership of the property. For those that are seeking a little spooky, you do have an opportunity to use paranormal ghost hunting equipment as well. I just truly enjoy the whole ambience of the experience and this is definitely something that Gettysburg needs more of. I have traveled to Gettysburg every year multiple times and have had an opportunity to participate in almost every tour that they have available, and I can say without hesitation that this was the absolute best tour and the most reasonably priced the host made you feel like you were coming home to hang out with friends. I certainly look forward to my next opportunity to visit their Homestead again in the future on one of their tours.

We had a really nice time on the haunted farm tour. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. It was an enjoyable way to spend a beautiful August evening and was different from the other tours offered that we had already been on. We would go again. Our ghost tracking app and equipment just added to the uniqueness of it.

This ghost tour was more relational and engaging than most ghost tours I have been on. If you want to engage with ghosts while learning history instead of just learn about them, this is the tour for you!

We are frequent Gettysburg visitors and have done most of the tours offered in town. We were excited to see a new tour pop up, the haunted farm tour! They're literally a 3 minute drive from the 1863 Inn (or 6 from Lincoln Square) which is so convenient. We loved exploring their property and seeing such well-preserved farm land. Spending time at the pond with EMF detectors was such a highlight, my husband and I both swear we saw shadows bouncing around (but no noise, so clearly not animals). Also, getting to discuss local lore and real life experiences with 2 locals is a bonus. While most Gettysburg tour guides are friendly, they don't always have much to say that's not part of a set script. I would love to see a local professional ghost hunting team come out and spend time on this property, see if there's specific entities spending time here. It would be especially cool to hear about that and any other history that the local library/historians can provide. In addition to the ride there are horses, a turkey, and dogs to see, snacks, drinks and s'mores around a campfire provided. Perfect for families of all ages.

I think I saw a ghost, bluish color apparition. Family hosting the hayride were very knowledgeable about the area.
