Overview

Welcome to the self-guided walking tour of Seminary Ridge Trail, where the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg played out! Union and Confederate soldiers battled ferociously for control of this strategic ridge and its make-shift hospital. This walking tour transports you to July 1863, to view this bloody battleground from the eyes of the generals calling out orders, the soldiers fighting for their lives, and the civilians caught in the crossfire.

Lutheran Theological Seminary

You’re standing in the Lutheran Theological Seminary’s campus. Long before it became the site of some of Gettysburg’s most heated clashes, it had a much more peaceful purpose as the oldest Lutheran seminary in the country. Samuel Simon Schmucker founded it in 1826, which makes it older than prestigious universities like NYU or Cornell!Note: The tour is over 1 miles long, with more than 20 audio stories, and takes about 0.5-1 hours to complete.. Your password can be used on the same number of devices as the travelers you have booked. Please enter the same password on each device.New, Lifetime access, no expiry.
