  Ken Rich's 2 hour walking tours are outstanding! I had the pleasure of doing two - back to back - and I learned so much. Ken pointed out... read more the homes of civilians who were living in the town during the war and even shared photos of the area during the time. I thoroughly enjoyed the bios of the residents.

  Codori, Houck, Benner, Menchey, Wade. The names evoke familiar places on the Gettysburg battlefield, but what about their stories? For any long term student of the battle, Gettysburg... read more eventually becomes something of an adopted home town. The familiar landscapes and stories of the soldiers create a common frame of reference with other history buffs. But how well do you know your neighbors? Ken Rich takes you on a two hour tour through the streets of Gettysburg and shares the experiences of the local residents during those pivotal days of July 1863. He starts with some nice history on the early settlement of the Gettysburg area. He shares how the main roads came to be laid out through town, roads that would one day draw two large armies to Gettysburg. And no, they aren’t always still in their original places. He takes you to the houses where Jennie Wade was born and lived with her family. And no, it’s not the “Jennie Wade House.” In a leisurely-paced walk through the south end of Gettysburg you will visit a number of spots off the beaten path where tourists seldom go. Not just to enjoy the beautiful views, but to orient yourself to battlefield landmarks, and to carefully observe the terrain in ways that are difficult to notice while driving. Terrain that impacted the placement of the battle lines and how the soldiers maneuvered through the town. The stories primarily reflect the history of the buildings and the people associated with them. Some will be familiar names, others will be new to you. But Ken has the pictures and accounts of their lives. How they dealt with the Confederate invasion. How did they protect their families, livestock, and property? What did they see as the two armies fought through the town the evening of July 1? How did they care for the wounded of both sides? You’ll hear about their experiences after the war as well, and how the echoes of battle continued to change the Gettysburg landscape. And of course he has lots of little amazing details and sidebars that get tossed in along the way. (Do you know where those “civil war building” bronze plaques come from?) And Ken makes himself available online to answer any follow-up questions you might have. This tour has something for the advanced student and the novice as well. If you’d like to learn more about the people of Gettysburg and the sights of the town you should definitely check it out.

  We took our 4 boys (ages 12 to 7) and it was a great learning experience for them! Very informative and fun!!
