Tillie Pierce was 15 when the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in 1863. Concerned for her safety, her family sent her to a safe house located near Little Round Top, which ended up being a key defensive line of the Union Army. An account of her experiences can be found in ‘At Gettysburg (What A Girl Saw And Heard Of The Battle)’ which is still in print today.

Where would a supposedly haunted inn be without a ghostly guard cat? This is Creamsicle (as we called him) and his purr was absolutely terrifying!
