About this activity

Echoes of War is the premiere ghost tour in Gettysburg. We’ll bring you into the heart of the town that the Civil War nearly decimated and show you some of the city's most haunted locations. For the spirits of the soldiers who died on the very streets of Gettysburg, the war hasn't ended.

You’ll also learn about the citizens who watched in horror as the Battle of Gettysburg raged outside their windows and the aftermath of them having to pick up the pieces of their scarred and ruined city.

Echoes of War is a bittersweet look at what came before and what came after during one of America’s darkest chapters that families of all ages can learn and appreciate.

If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.
