Come on our History Walking Tour presented by Junket!
While history focuses on the famous, today we'll look at the ordinary people, especially women, who protected the vulnerable, cared for the sick and wounded, buried the dead, and made life as safe as possible for the families left behind as the men of the town went off to war. You'll discover the stories of women like Tillie Pierce, Jennie Wade, and Elizabeth Thorn, who have statues or houses named after them, as well as women like Mary McAllister, Sallie Myers, and Philinda Humiston, who are rarely mentioned in history books but had a major impact on this tight-knit community in some of its darkest hours.

At just 15 years old, Tillie Pierce transformed from a schoolgirl into an unexpected battlefield nurse, caring for wounded soldiers during the chaos of Gettysburg. From this very home, she fled to the countryside, only to find herself in the middle of the bloodiest battle in American history. Her firsthand accounts give us one of the most vivid and harrowing perspectives of the war seen through the eyes of a young girl.

This stately home belonged to David Wills, but it was his wife, Catherine Jane Wills, who played a crucial role in helping organize aid for wounded soldiers and grieving families. The house became the center of relief efforts after the battle, providing shelter and comfort to those left in the wake of destruction. It was also where President Lincoln finalized the Gettysburg Address—his powerful words echoing the sacrifices made by the women of Gettysburg.

During the battle, the Gettysburg Hotel became a makeshift hospital where women like Hettie Shriver and other local heroines worked tirelessly to save lives. The once-elegant rooms filled with the cries of the wounded, as women bandaged soldiers, soothed fears, and offered the only comfort many would know in their final moments. Walking through its halls today, you can almost hear the whispers of the past, where courage and compassion met in the face of war.

Her work on the battlefield and in makeshift hospitals earned her the respect of generals and soldiers alike, proving that heroism knows no uniform.
