What To Expect
The Brickhouse Inn, formerly the Old Welty House, played a pivotal role during the Battle of Gettysburg, serving as a vantage point for Confederate sharpshooters who occupied its second floor and attic. Today, the lingering spirits of these soldiers are said to haunt the inn, their presence a chilling reminder of the fierce conflict that once raged there.
The Witness Tree along Baltimore Street in Gettysburg stands as a silent sentinel to the brutal fighting that occurred during the Battle of Gettysburg. This ancient tree, present during the bloodshed, is believed to hold the echoes of those fateful days, with some claiming to hear whispers of the past in its rustling leaves.

5.00This was a great tour lead by Michala. She was knowledgeable about the history and answered everyone's questions. She spoke at a good volume so she was easy to hear. She walked at a good pace so even us old people could keep up.
We had a blast!

5.00What a fun experience for Gettysburg. We take 'haunted' tours in all towns we visit, and this one was over the top. The level of history that took place here made this tour very interesting. We did not experience any activity ourselves, but our tour guide had plenty of stories and pictures for us to view. I have a bad knee and the humidity kills me, but I was able to do all of the walking without issue. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. We would recommend this tour for sure!
Amber was a great guide,...
