Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The area where the Jennie Wade House sits was generally seen as a “no man's land” during the Civil War, but the house became an important historic site after 20-year-old Jennie Wade was shot while preparing bread for Union soldiers. She is the only known civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg.

During a tour of the perfectly preserved home, visitors can see the exact spot where the bullet traveled through two wooden doors before hitting young Jennie Wade. The home also contains a small shop where guests can buy figurines, informative DVDs, flags, puzzles, books, and other memorabilia.
