A short, self guided tour through a historic house in Gettysburg. The tragic story of Jennie Wade was beautifully explained by our guide before she left us to walk around the property. If you haven't taken this short tour, I highly recommend exploring the history of this story and home.

Have been here several times - but haven't toured the actual house since 1973. Staff are friendly & knowledgeable about Jennie's story - it's a worthwhile tour. Just be aware that it's not really handicapped accessible beyond the gift shop.

Can anyone confirm or deny that Jenny herself was pregnant at the time of her death?

Alexander Palmateer | Oct 31, 2019
Jay Liu | Oct 31, 2019

she was not pregnant. keep in mind that the term used during the 1800s was With Child. the term pregnant wasn't even used until early 1920s. keep in mind that Jennie wade did have a BF. His name was Jack Skelly. THEY were NOT secretly engaged but they were dating. He joined to fight for the union army in 1861 after the firing at Fort S. He will die from infection in a wound in his leg that he received during the 2nd battle of Winchester Virginia a few weeks prior to Gettysburg on July 12/13th. He is buried within the evergreen cemetery about 100 feet behind where Jennie Wade is buried today in the Skelly family plots.
