We are so glad that we went on the tour. Our tour guide was great. We found a new appreciation for what the civilians experienced during and after the Battle of Gettysburg. Everyone that visits Gettysburg should make time to go to The Shriver House. This is a family oriented Museum, and the whole family will walk away with
a new respect for history.

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.
