Gettysburg Town Tour on Segway APRIL 25
Tour | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST
This new tour will go around the perimeter of the Borough of Gettysburg. You will hear stories about the fighting in the streets of Gettysburg and how the citizens coped with more than 22,000 wounded soldiers that were left behind by the two armies.
The tour, led by a knowledgeable and experienced guide, will go beyond the common tales of Tillie Pierce and Jennie Wade and will include the lesser-known Gettysburg sites and stories. You will see and hear stories about battle-damaged buildings, the German Reform Church, Race Horse Alley, Oak Ridge, and the "Old Dorm" of Pennsylvania College, the former sites of the Franklin School and the Eagle Hotel, and post-war sites associated with Frederick Douglass, Eddie Plank and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Before this tour, an instructor will teach you how to safely and easily ride and navigate a Segway in their indoor training course. Helmets and listening devices will be provided. Bring your sense of adventure to enjoy a new way to tour!
This is a FIVE Sneaker: Robust tour, recommended for regular walkers/hikers, some strenuous activity hiking/walking, most areas not accessible.
Address: 11 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg, PA 17325

In an effort to preserve the great experience, as well as the local jobs, Segways on the Square is now managed by new owners and conducts tours from a new shop, but backed with the same exceptional staff and tours. Your tour will be led by a licensed guide.
