Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Walking through the Shriver House Museum is like walking back in time. The meticulously restored 1860 home is your window into an important period of American history. While walking through its rooms with a guide dressed in a period costume, you can learn how the civilians lived and what happened to them during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Your guide will tell you the story of the Shriver family while you explore their fully furnished rooms, which look the same as they did in 1860, with all the furniture, clothes, children’s toys, and other items of everyday life.

You will see the two sharpshooters who were hiding in the attic during the battle and died there. The house was also used as a hospital and a place to store medical supplies during the battle, and you will see some of those supplies, which were later found in the house.
