About Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum
The Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum tells the remarkable story of ordinary civilians and their extraordinary experiences before, during, and after the Civil War. This beautifully done museum, recently named "Best New Museum," emphasizes the civilian experience through twelve interactive galleries packed with over 1,000 rare artifacts. Its premier exhibit, Caught in the Crossfire, is an immersive and moving experience that places visitors inside a reconstructed farmhouse during the battle. The museum is very informative and enriching, revealing the civilian cost of war. Visitors will find a wealth of information and engaging exhibits, requiring a good amount of time to explore. The personnel are pleasant and knowledgeable, offering further education beyond the exhibits. The cost is reasonable, and the venue also provides event space. It is a highly recommended and amazing experience during any visit to Gettysburg.

Really enjoyed visiting. The immersive house experience alone is worth the price of admission. The young lady at the front desk was very welcoming. Great selection of $5 used books in the shop.
