The Shriver House Museum

Step into the Shriver House Museum, where the chaos of war collided with the lives of ordinary civilians. Located in the heart of downtown Gettysburg, this beautifully restored home tells the harrowing story of the Shriver family during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Guided tours provide an intimate look at the battle—and the war’s—impact on the Shrivers and their neighbors. Visitors can explore the house, which was occupied by Confederate sharpshooters during the battle,  and view original artifacts as well as preserved bullet holes discovered during restoration.
