The specters of fallen soldiers, for whom the war still rages on, linger on the streets of Gettysburg.

We will further immerse you in the terrifying experience of the local inhabitants who witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg right outside their homes, and the struggle to rebuild their scarred city in its aftermath.

Echoes of War provides a poignant perspective of the events that unfolded during one of the bleakest periods in America’s history, offering a valuable learning experience accessible to all family members.

Ghost Walk - We really enjoyed our ghost walk with Ted. He knew the history and tour information. He was extremely patient with our four grandkids, ages 5-13.
