I took the the tour of the Shriver house and will say the guide was great very in character. I would recommend this to be every ones first stop in town ... most people forget the battle was happening in town and if you want to know what families like the Shrivers did this is the place to learn it... more

I've visited the Shriver House Museum twice within the last 5 years, and still think it is my favorite attraction in Gettysburg. The museum was originally the home of the George Shriver family at the time the Civil War broke out. This extremely informative tour tells you the impact the battle had on the citizens of Gettysburg.

The tour takes you from the top to the bottom of the house, and tells the story of the Shriver family, and how their lives were... more
