Sleeping Below a Confederate Sniper's Nest in Gettysburg!!! | History Traveler EP 138

Part 12 of the Gettysburg series. When speaking of the Battle of Gettysburg, many may not realize how much fighting occurred in the town itself. The most violent urban combat took place in the southern part of Gettysburg where the Sweeny House was located. In this episode, we're visiting the Sweeny House which is now called The Farnsworth House Inn to spend the night right below the spot where Confederate snipers were posted. It's also thought that this is the place where the fatal shot that killed Jennie Wade was fired from.
