Phenomenal, beautifully designed museum. Impressive exhibits, excellent & dedicated staff. My only suggestion: PLEASE increase your signage before the 3D experience of “Caught in the Crossfire”. Please make sure your staff are trained to communicate what awaits them (especially parents of children). Highly sensitive people, including autistic and other special needs individuals can have a “too near lifelike” and traumatic experience. For autistic & highly sensitive folks, walking through a museum such as this is mentally and emotionally taxing enough. Please give visitors a choice, and to understand what the exhibit entails before entering. Thank you so much.

As a 40 year old local, this was a really amazing experience to learn about the town and not just the battle. I would recommend it to any tourist, history buff and local to go through this at least once. Give yourself at least 2 hours. It's not that big but they pack a lot of information into that space.

Very informative. I definitely spent the 2 hrs there with all the reading I did. I don't like how there were too many sounds with clips playing I think they should invest in like motion sensors or buttons so it's just not a constant loop of videos. The "caught in the cross fire" was amazing. It really feels like you were there in a house as an observer. It was a nice touch. The workers were also helpful with a little more info as well. Would recommend.

This is an excellent new museum that’s a perfect compliment to the Gettysburg Military Park museum. I highly recommend coming to both museums. This one focuses more of the civilian experience, which is fascinating. The displays are extremely well designed and the museum has an excellent flow to it. The immersive experience of the house during the battle should not be missed. The artifacts are well labeled and explained. Overall, this is an extremely well designed museum and it will be a great addition to the town.

A new museum that provides a complete overview of Adam's County history. It has a section for the Battle of Gettysburg, but shows a complete history of the area. The building is also a temperature and humidity controlled for the storage of thousands of items covering Adam's County history. A small snack bar is available. This new museum is highly recommended for people of all ages.

This was such a phenomenal experience. My 2 boys loved it, especially the Caught in the Crossfire exhibit. The children's set up with the Colonial stuff was great and my boys had to visit it multiple times. Went to the Dinosaur and Meteorite talk on Sunday was incredible. You all hit a home run and it was worth every penny. It is now on my list of places to take people when I visit.

This was incredible and worth every penny. Gettysburg NAILED it with this museum. A beautiful tribute to this gorgeous little town. The best, but also most emotional part, was the room simulating what it was like to live in one of the homes as the war rages through
We'll be back for sure

Very cool museum to visit! It's 2 floors, mainly the museum is on the first floor, but there is an events room and a study upstairs. It is wheelchair accessible and has an elevator. There are some interactive aspects and some videos that go on. Also there is a really cool room that gives you a realistic experience. Highly recommend coming if you love history! Grand opening is April 15
