Highlights

Step back in time with our tour guide dressed in period clothing, and discover the fascinating story of the Shriver family: George, Hettie, Sadie (7), and Mollie (5). Learn how the Battle of Gettysburg impacted their lives before, during, and after the Civil War.


Once one of the wealthiest families in town, their home was occupied by Confederate sharpshooters during the battle. Explore their beautiful period garden, see the bullet holes in the brick walls, check out historical artifacts, and visit our museum shop. This journey will transport you to a different time and help you understand the Shriver family's resilience and the lasting impact of the Battle of Gettysburg.
