What is the Wonder Women of Gettysburg Tour About?

Seven thousand men lost their lives at the Battle of Gettysburg. While they are well-remembered and honored for their valiant efforts, the women of Gettysburg are often forgotten. This tour aims to change that. Join the Wonder Women of Gettysburg Tour to hear about death-defying feats of bravery and kindness performed by the extraordinary women of the Civil War.

 

Learn how their contributions on and off the field altered the course of American history. Without their bravado and caring touch, many soldiers would have died a lonesome and painful death. The Daughters of Charity faced impossible odds to save dozens of lives and made the passing of others as painless as possible.

 

But their efforts went further than nursing the living and tending to the dead. Take in stories of ironclad determination carried out by women like Elizabeth Thorn. As hell rained down around her, she managed to dig 105 graves while pregnant! The putrid stench of corpses drove all the men around her to quit, but not Thorn.

 

On the Wonder Women of Gettysburg Tour, you’ll visit historic buildings and hear about Gettysburg’s most famous battles and the women who changed the world behind the scenes. Reserve your spot today to experience this unique Civil War tour of Gettysburg!
