548 Baltimore St
Gettysburg, PA 17325
Authentically furnished from cellar to attic, the Jennie Wade House is a shrine to Jennie and to life during the American Civil War. 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. The Jennie Wade House features guides in period attire who are well-versed in the history of the home. For years, they’ve enthralled visitors with passionate retellings of the tragedy that befell young Jennie and her family. 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. Visit our unique Gift Shop for Jennie Wade souvenirs, Gettysburg merchandise, candles, jewelry, books, and more. Fully guided and self guided tours available. PLEASE NOTE: This is a historic home with multiple sets of stairs. The home is NOT handicap or stroller accessible.
