| Description | More than a typical children's museum, Children of Gettysburg 1863® tells the stories of children, teens and young adults who lived in and near the town of Gettyburg during and after the Battle of Gettysburg. Now there is more for families to do in Gettysburg. Experience engaging first-hand accounts from the children who lived here during the battle including Albertus McCreary, Sadie Bushman and Tillie Pierce, to name a few. Your journey through galleries like "Growing Up in Gettysburg 1863," "The Soldiers are Coming," "Surviving the Battle" and "Remembering Gettysburg" provides a history-based setting for creativity, discovery and learning through interactive exhibits and exciting activities. Children of Gettysburg 1863® invites families and groups with children in grades K-5—and those young at heart—to touch and learn, seek and explore, create and inspire. Interact with living historians on the grounds on select summer weekends. |
