Civil War Ghosts proudly announces the public opening of the Jennie Wade Birthplace at 242 Baltimore Street. As the original site of her story, the structure is rich in history, mystery, and now offers a powerful new experience in Civil War storytelling and haunted history.
Located just steps from the Shriver Museum, Tillie Pierce House, and a stone’s throw from the Gettysburg Battlefield itself, the Jennie Wade Birthplace is one of the town’s oldest surviving residential structures. Visitors can now walk through the same halls where Jennie lived and experience firsthand how life in Gettysburg unfolded during one of America’s most pivotal conflicts.
Civil War Ghosts exclusively invites media, influencers, Civil War enthusiasts, history lovers, and even paranormal seekers for a soft opening event offering guided historical tours, paranormal hunts and experiences, and living history presentations and storytelling.
The opening will occur on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and includes free entry for locals with a Gettysburg ID and photo opportunities with costumed interpreters, including Jennie Wade in costume, as well as mini historical presentations on Jennie’s life and the home’s wartime role.
