~ Our walking tours ~
Grave Digger Tours leave from The Great T Shirt Company, located at 65 Steinwehr Avenue in Gettysburg, PA. Photo courtesy of Cheryl Morris. The Grave Digger Tours offer Gettysburg visitors two unique historic walking tours. The Aftermath tour, our original tour, describes the horrors the townspeople of Gettysburg faced as they were forced to deal with the dead and dying Union and Confederate soldiers, as well as their animals, littering the streets of the town and the surrounding farms. The Soldier’s Tour tells the ghostly stories of the spirits that still haunt these hallowed grounds because of their trials and tribulations. These tours feature the eyewitness accounts of the men and women who lived through this most famous of all American Civil War battles and wrote of their experiences in letters and diaries. Your guide will lead you through historic streets where skirmishes between Union and Confederate soldiers were fought, and homes sustained battle damage – houses still scarred by bullet holes. Cameras are welcome!  Are you writing a novel set in the Gettysburg area in the 1860s? Join us! Our guided walking tours are an excellent opportunity to visit locations in existence during the Civil War – and give you the opportunity to find out more about that period of our American history. Now available – Our Grave Digger Tours Journal. Record your Grave Digger Tours experience with this blank, guided journal, tailored specifically for the tour company, including favorite stories and historic figures, as well as your Gettysburg visit, with room to describe your favorite attractions, restaurants, and hotels, the people you met, and the souvenirs you purchased.
