You step off Baltimore Street as late afternoon shadows stretch across cobblestones; the app pings, a narrator with a low tone fills your ears, and the hush of a town that once echoed with musket fire seems to listen back. The tour opens at the Tillie Pierce House area and threads past carved stone markers, old inns, and the Jennie Wade House where your route pauses.
