    About this experience

    Visit the oldest museum in Gettysburg! Learn the story of the only civilian to be killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. Authentically furnished from cellar to attic, the Jennie Wade House is a shrine to Jennie and to life during the American Civil War. Beyond the battlefield's thunder, this quiet home whispers the poignant, personal tragedy of Gettysburg's only civilian casualty—a life extinguished mid-morning by a stray bullet. Just 20 years old at the time of the Battle, Jennie was kneading dough in the kitchen when a rifle bullet pierced two doors and claimed her life. Artifacts from that fatal day in 1863 are on display as well, including the artillery shell that punctured the roof of the house and a floorboard with Jennie’s blood still on it.

    Fact Filled Tour

    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us all the facts. She made sure when to point out rumors about what we may have heard and then gave us the story behind it.

    Excellent tour.

    The tour guide at the Jenny Wade House on August 11th was very resourceful and told the group I toured with more information that we didn't know from previous tours there. I think his name was Matt and he was very informative, very interesting to listen to and he was dressed like a pro tour guide. Thank you Matt!

    Great experience

    Did the ghost tour of Jennie Wade house. This was our second time. We had first gone in October 2024. We had George as a tour guide.this time around. He was amazing!! If I go back, I'm doing this tour again. It's a cute little home with lots of interesting history. Not a bad price for a fun hour and a half tour. Definitely a little creepy though.

    Let It Be Me - The Jennie Wade Story EXCELLENT!!!

    We went to the tour "Let It Be Me - The Jennie Wade Story". I was impressed with the tour. It is not just a tour of Jennie Wade's house but an interactive tour. As the guide explains what went on, there are actors that show up and reenact what happened that day. It was amazing, we truly enjoyed it!

    Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.

    How much does Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gettysburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gettysburg is not rushed.

    Is Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gettysburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gettysburg and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jennie Wade House Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gettysburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Gettysburg?

    +

    Gettysburg is a guide town: licensed battlefield guides in your own car, bus and horseback battlefield tours, ghost lantern walks and museum entries covering the three-day battle. On Outty we rank every Gettysburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Gettysburg?

    +

    April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Gettysburg?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
