This item is a Jennie Wade souvenir dough tray, the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. Jennie Wade was supposedly making bread in a dough tray for passing soldiers at the home of her sister, Georgia Wade McClellan, on Baltimore Street. A stray bullet passed through the door of the house and struck Jennie in the back, killing her instantly.

This souvenir is made of an attractively stained and lacquered wood and measures 4 ¾ inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches high. Shows minor wear and a few scratches, otherwise in good condition.

The top of the box has “Gettysburg, Pa.” in gold script. Affixed to the bottom of the box is a paper label reading, “THIS IS A MODEL OF THE / DOUGH TRAY / At which Jennie Wade, the only civilian killed during the / battle of Gettysburg, was working at the / time of her death. / The original can be seen at the / JENNIE WADE MUSEUM / Gettysburg, Pa. / COME TO GETTYSBURG / SEE AMERCIA’S GREATEST BATTLEFIELD”.
