Gettysburg Living History Town Tours
In cooperation with Reluctant Witnesses, Historic Town Tour, and Victorian Carriage Company
Tour the town of Gettysburg with battle veteran James H. Maclay (as portrayed by actor Jeff Greenawalt). Walk the center portion of the town, the heartbeat of 1863 Gettysburg, with this local miller who volunteered to serve in the Union Army. Listen as he brings to life the stories told to him by the townspeople as well as the events that happened to him during and after the battle. View surviving structures and understand what happened within and without their walls during and soon after the battle. This is a living history tour done in first person. It is also one history lesson you will never forget! Stories of the citizens of Gettysburg are taken from the accounts they wrote. The experiences of James Maclay come from his writings and the history of his unit.
This is a leisurely paced walk… No hiking… on paved roads…wheelchairs are manageable.
