Learned so much from Gayl our tour guide. - Awesome experience. Gayl was our guide and she did such a great job. Learned so much about the family that lived in this house.

Truely a moment to go back in time to the 3-day battle - Our tour guide, dressed in era-appropriate costume, was excellent at telling the story of how the Shriver home was used during the three-day battle. She guided us through the home, explaining each room to us. We worked our way to the attic where the snippers would have been. This is NOT barrier-free and is not air-conditioned so you don't want to be there long. Then we made it all the way to the cellar to where the tavern was. Again, it is not barrier-free and has narrow, steep steps going up and down to the tavern. The artifacts on display which were found during the reconstruction of the house were very interesting and there is also a small gift shop within the home.

Highly Recommend very cool tour - Extremely cool museum. It looks small from the outside but the guide met us in period dress and took us on a very cool tour of the house. Our guide was very informative and a great storyteller. I would highly recommend this tour

Rich History and Entertaining - I really enjoyed the history of this house and its owners. Such insights into the way life took a turn when least expected. Our guide was wonderful and I love the house and stories.

Very interesting and insightful - We spent 2 full days in Gettysburg and the Shriver House Museum was one our historic places visited. It was very interesting to follow the story of the civilians caught up in the battle and for us, coming from the UK very interesting to understand more about this important historic event.

Great tour in Gettysburg - Very interesting tour. Our guide Abbey was excellent! She really took you back in time to the Civil War and what it was like for civilians.

Educational - A must see when in Gettysburg and a very nice shop as well . Loved the ladies dressed in period clothing.

The Shriver House in Gettysburg tour is certainly worth the money - Our guide Nancy was Just terrific She added humor and she knew the story of the family and the house and the battle is it applied to the house and the town really really enjoyed her tour She did a terrific job The gift shop was cute The pictures around the gift shop showing the restoration and the illuminite with the the blood stains the whole thing is just amazing We also did the Farnsworth house and it was also equally as awesome our tour guide there he did a terrific job too but as far as this tour went I would recommend it and I would certainly recommend Nancy as well

Shriver house tour - Nancy was wonderful she gave great details about the Shriver home and family. She was engaging and open to questions with great knowledge of the family and Gettysburg experience.

Decent but Overrated - I saw this museum recommended on multiple blogs for families with kids. It was touted as a great way to bring to life Gettysburg civilian life. I was a bit disappointed by the experience. I thought it would be more interactive or dramatic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and it was fun to see her dressed for that period. However none of our family really engaged with the story. (To be fair, they generally don't like guided tours.) We preferred the Gettysburg Museum of History knick knacks and the Eisenhower (self-guided) farm tour much more -- it's also helped that the latter are free.
