Overview

Enjoy a private, exclusive 2-hour tour of Gettysburg with your own local guide. Uncover the dark and untold stories of the area, as you learn about Alexander Dobbin, the founder of the Inn who still haunts the house. Discover the apparitions of slaves who are said to still occupy the house, including sightings in hidden areas. Visit the Jennie Wade House, which is believed to be haunted and still stands to this day with much of its original structure preserved. Behold the iconic tree that is old enough to have witnessed the chilling events from the historic Battle of Gettysburg. Discover the Gettysburg Municipal Building, which was once the Adam’s County Prison, where many criminals died within its walls and Civil War soldiers outside. Learn about the hospital that was established in the building just four years before the Battle of Gettysburg. Finally, explore the paranormal activity that is rumored to take place in a hotel that was repurposed as a hospital during the Civil War.
