Shriver House Museum

In 1860, as the Civil War reached Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the Shriver family’s home stood at the heart of the conflict. Today, the Shriver House Museum, a restored 19th-century residence, offers a glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants during the Battle of Gettysburg. Visitors can explore the house, which has been meticulously returned to its original condition, and learn about the personal stories and experiences of the Shriver family. The museum provides a tangible connection to the past, allowing guests to step back in time and understand the impact of the war on the local community.
