One Famous House... One Forgotten Family
The Jennie Wade House and the Isaac Newton McClain Family
Perhaps the most famous house in Gettysburg is the small brick duplex on the side of Cemetary Hill where twenty-year-old Jennie Wade was killed while attending to her sister and newborn nephew. This tragic story has often been told over the years. The house has served as a museum for over a century, telling the story of the McClellan / Wade family and their place in history.
