Check out the Jennie Wade Room at Farnsworth House Inn

Farnsworth Jennie Wade Room(c) Susan Breslow Sardone.
The Jennie Wade room at Farnsworth House Inn has a queen-size brass bed and gas fireplace.

Its namesake was only twenty years old when she was accidentally shot by a Confederate soldier. His errant bullet passed through two doors and pierced Jennie's heart. In her pocket was a picture of childhood friend Jack Skelly. Wounded during battle, Skelly died nine days after Jennie Wade.

Some say they've seen evidence Jennie's spirit lives on.
