The owner and photographer Dave was great. Not only was he very professional, he was also knowledgeable about regiment specific uniforms, and period appropriate dress. He remained masked and compliant with all covid-19 regulations at all times. We decided to get both the wet plate tintype and digital photos, and he gave a discounted price for getting both. He also explained the preparation and developing process and we got to watch while our wet plate developed before our eyes. The scheduling was simple and able to be booked online. Walk-ins are welcome, but I suggest booking ahead of time as his appointments fill up fast.The location and parking are convenient. His costume and prop selection includes clothing accessories,furniture and weapons. Extra points for a selection of plus size clothing! We will be definitely be visiting again.

Hickory Hollow Horse Farm

Reviewed By nnaattyy1977

Wow! DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! These horses are amazing! We had a blast for a Mommy & Me weekend. We’ve ridden before as my daughter takes lessons. I haven’t ridden in 25 years, but it was just like riding a bike. The horses follow the leader and are super easy. Teddy Bear and Honzi were fan favorites. We did the 1.5 hour ride one day and the 2 hour ride the next. The 1.5 hour ride consisted of a perimeter ride of the battle field. Super fun and very serene. The wranglers are awesome! Sara was so nice and Pam was so knowledgeable. Gracie’s dad was so sweet! Our 2 hour ride was full of history told by an amazing storyteller and historian. Well worth the money. The horses are big working horses instead of the usual quarter horses . I have to say that we preferred the bigger horses! We will be back!!

My husband and I did the Rebel Recon room and we escaped with just minutes to spare. Lots of great puzzles with good clues and it was fun to tie in the town's history into the room. Would definitely recommend!

Shriver House Museum

You may know what happened on battlefield...but do you know what happened to the families and their homes in town? The Shriver House Museum is an award-winning Civil War museum dedicated to the civilian experience during the Battle of Gettysburg. The story is told through the eyes of the Shriver family, whose ancestors settled in the area in the 1700s. While George Shriver served in the Union army, his wife, Hettie, was worried about the safety of their daughters, Mollie (5) and Sadie (7), as well as their home. When soldiers filled the streets of Gettysburg, Hettie (27) chose to take her children back to her family's farm three miles south of town, by Big Round Top; where she thought they would be out of harm's way. Hettie could not know she jumped from the frying pan into the fire or that her unoccupied home would offer the Rebels an outstanding view of Union ground. It was quickly commandeered by Confederates to set up a sharpshooters' nest in the attic. Today the Shrivers' home appears much the same way it did when it was built in 1860, just a few months before the Civil War began. Guides in period dress recount the harrowing story of the Shriver family's experiences as you walk through their home - from the Confederate sharpshooters' nest in the attic, through their finely-appointed home, to Shriver's Saloon in the cellar. The story of George Shriver was not well-known until 1996 when his house, which sat abandoned for nearly 30 years, was painstakingly restored to its original appearance. Today the Shrivers' story is one of the most intriguing stories told when it comes to the civilian aspect of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Was a great tour, it showed how the battlefield was also in the city and how it affected the civilian population. If you are there for the history it is definitely a place you have to stop.

My boyfriend and I stopped by this winery as part of our trip to Gettysburg, and it was well worth the trip. We weren't able to do a tasting, but we were able to buy by the glass and drink on the grounds. The winery grounds were beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful with selecting a wine to enjoy.
