Where it is
Plotted from this location's public street address. Drag to explore the area; the pin opens its details.
The record
Before she became the battle's only civilian casualty, Mary Virginia "Jennie" Wade was born in Gettysburg in 1843 and grew up here, working as a seamstress alongside her mother. The birthplace anchors the earlier chapter of her story — the ordinary Gettysburg life that the battle cut short at her sister's house on Baltimore Street in July 1863. The site is tied into the town's Jennie Wade history and ghost-tour circuit, where guides recount her life and death; reported activity at Wade-associated sites centers on her lingering presence. (Documented record for this specific address is thinner than for the death house — the history here is Jennie's early life more than the building itself.)
