Shriver House Museum – The Civilian Experience
309 Baltimore Street
Gettysburg, PA

Travel back in time with a living historian in period attire to learn about the civilians’ experience during the Battle of Gettysburg. As you move from room to room in this meticulously restored pre-Civil War home, connect with the stories of George, Hettie, Sadie (7) and Mollie (5) Shriver to appreciate what life was like before, during, and after the American Civil War.

– Guides in period attire conduct tours of the Shrivers’ home – one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Gettysburg in the 1860s.
– Built in 1860 as a new residence and business: Shriver’s Saloon & Ten-Pin Alley.
– Furnished to its 1860s appearance and frozen in time – from the cat sleeping the bed to the devastating destruction left behind by the two armies.
– 19th century period demonstration garden.
– Authentic bloodstained sharpshooters’ nest where Confederate soldiers were killed.
– Civil War Bullets and medical supplies were found under the attic floorboards in 1996.
– Numerous bullet holes scar the brick – a silent reminder of the horrific battle.
– Filming site: PBS, History Channel, A&E, Discovery Channel, HGTV, and more.
– Proud to be an official Civil War Trails® site.
