My family and I went to the Shriver House museum and were lucky enough to get our own private tour. The Shriver's story is very interesting and gives a great perspective on how the towns people of Gettysburg were impacted by the three day battle. You should really take the time to stop here and listen to their story.

Went here on the last day and so glad that we didn't miss it. Fantastic tour, interesting story.

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 i have visited the Shriver home during re-enactment as well and its an amazing experience to see the confederates take the house ... as for the workers and owners they are amazing people and treat every one very nice i must say they made my experience in Gettysburg a great one

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 Shrivers were just one of many families who's lives were forever changed by the battle that took place in and around their town. My four year old grand daughter was with us, and the guide even captivated her attention throughout the tour. This historic home is furnished the way it would have looked at the time of the battle. I highly recommend a stop at the Shriver House Museum.
