My daughter (8) and I went on the tour and really enjoyed it. The Shriver story was so interesting and the house really brought it all together. Neat stuff to look at that was found in the house during the 1996 restoration. The basement and attic are amazing and take you back to that period. Our tour guide was new,... More

Was an interesting story but not worth the price of admission (I think about $16.00 for the two of us) for such a short tour. The woman was informative but nothing in the house is original.

If you enjoy history, the wonderful house is a must stop. Fee is reasonable & remember this is a private museum & not at all a tourist trap like so many. Docent Sue did a very nice job on the tour. The work that has been done by the owner (Nancie) is unbelievable. We met her briefly, but would love... More

Imagine what the residents of this tiny town of two or three thousand people must have experienced when 170,000 opposing armed forces converged on Gettysburg. Great story of the Shriver family. You won't be disappointed.

Though I have visited Gettysburg many many time over the years, I was unaware of this modest museum that focusses on how the war affected civilian life. The tour of a home located in the middle of the conflict adds much to an understanding of an important backstory to the war. The guided tour is well done.

This is a real trip back in time, to see how one family and the neighbor lived through the battle (Day One of the battle moved into the town) and the ramifications it had on the family. Very moving and thought-provoking, but no happy ending. This is a guided tour (small groups due to the size of the house), so... More

This privately run little gem of a museum was a new stop for us this time around in Gettysburg. The Schriver family lived through the Battle of Gettysburg, so guides in period costumes take you back in time through the restored home to help you understand what life was like for the citizens of Gettysburg during those fateful days. The... More

This house has a tremendous about of history. The confederate sharpshooters took uo a position there and the holes in the wall are still there to see. They had a detective come in a few years ago and sprayed a luminesent on the flooring in the attic, the photo they took after shows the blood from where they were killed... More

The guide face a great tour. We learned a lot about what the citizens would have experienced before, during, and after the battle. The Shriver house is a must see when you go to Gettysburg!
