After two full days of battlefield activities, we loved visiting the Shriver House and gaining perspective of a civilian family during that time. Our tour guide (wish I could recall her name) was fantastic and told a great story. I loved how the tour guides dressed in period costume.

Great look into how life in a quiet rural village became a living hell for the citizens of Gettysburg. The ransacked rooms, sniper outpost in the attic and the unfulfilled dreams of a budding tavern owner. Excellent 30 minute tour.

I had been here before in the summer for the regular tour and was pleasantly surprised to see that they offer a Candlelight Christmas tour. It was even more interesting than the regular tour. It was great for my kids to see that children used to get so few toys and were appreciative to have oranges for the holiday. Thinking about the Shriver Family's Christmas put a real pleasant perspective on our holiday trip.

My wife and I enjoyed a great tour of the Shriver House. The house was restored to look exactly as it did in 1863. The tour has a lot of surprises as you learn about a young family torn apart by the Civil War. Great attraction for all ages. Owners take great pride in this home. You can tell that their efforts at restoration were a labor of love. We will be back with the kids in the summer.

Loved hearing about how the townspeople dealt with a battle in their quiet little town. I can't begin to imagine the sights, sounds, smells and general nerve wracking experience.

This museum tells the story very well of a Gettysburg family and their experience of what life was like for them before, during, and after the Gettysburg battle occurred. George and Hettie Shriver were a young couple, with two little girls seven and five, when the battle of Gettysburg happened. George was off serving in the war at that time, leaving Hettie alone with the two girls, awaiting his return to open up a saloon in the basement and a bowling alley by the house to generate income for the family. Confederate soldiers ended up using their attic, to sharp-shoot and kill Yankees; at least one of the Confederate soldiers died up there. The whole story is fascinating; the tour guide was dressed in period costume, and was extremely animated in showing the house, the planned saloon, and narrating the true story of the family, including how Hettie, her two girls, and a 15-year-old neighbor, ended up being by Little Round Top in the thick of the battle. There's a very cute little gift shop and a good size case of interesting artifacts they discovered from the Shrivers and others who occupied the house later, when they restored the house. The tour was a half-hour, but it would be good to allow some extra time to look at the artifacts, the outside of the house, etc.

The guide through the home, Hannah, was wonderful. She gave us a great synopsis of the Shriver's and how they lived during the Civil War, which was a very sad story. Well worth visiting.

This museum gives you the civilian's perspective of the Civil War. My kids, 7 & 10, enjoyed it so much they took the tour twice. Our tour guide, Nancy, was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable about the museum and Gettysburg in general. Nancy not only did an excellent job with the tour but she also was able to point us towards some of the must see and must skip attractions and local eateries.

This was a gem. Take the tour of the house, look at the backyard and see the bullet holes on the side of the house. The story of the family is interesting and gives you a different perspective of what happened to the townspeople during the was in Gettsyburg.

Really gave a view of what the townspeople went through! The tour guide was very thorough. Our 12 year old really enjoyed it!!
