Adams County Historical Society has impressed me every time I’ve gone. They opened their doors with Beyond The Battlefield and we bought tickets as soon as they opened. It was an amazing experience and the rest of the museum had an enormous amount of history and information to absorb. We returned this past weekend for the Gettysburg Movie 30th Anniversary and their execution of the event was flawless. Even any snags had happy endings. If you are in the area, stop in! You might even get to see some of the amazing Battlefield Guides; Tim and Garry! Both wonderful at what they do and so knowledgeable!

A great learning oppurtunity awaits all who wonder into this museum. Many informative plaques and displays. They even have a interactive house showcasing what it could have been like in a house during the battle of Gettysburg. I met the director Andrew Dalton very kind and knowledgeable.

Wonderful museum. Very informative and the staff are very helpful and engaging. You have to experience the "Caught in the crossfire" exhibit. Really brings it home to you what every day people went through when caught in the middle of the conflict ..very unnerving..We were very impressed and donated some family items related to Adam's county history. We will most definitely be back.

Excellent new museum to show what the residents of Gettysburg went through during the battle.

I visited on September 23rd. I love the new museum! It has a great flow to it. Exhibits are easy to read. And there is so much great information on Adams County we would not normally be exposed to anywhere else. Congratulations Andrew and Tim!

The museum sponsored by the Adams County Historical Society gives a detailed history of Gettysburg and the surrounding area. It starts off with the dinosaur period and works up to present time. There are a lot of neat artifacts from each time period. For example, the museum has some of Dwight Eisenhower's golf clubs on display. There are many other artifacts from other prominent people from Adams county. Great place to visit while visiting Gettysburg battlefield 👍

The Beyond The Battle mesueam is so worth the time!!! Very moving exhibition where tog can sit in a home like the people of Gettysburg and how they endured the fighting. Very moving. All the other items are very informative about the rocks, the Indians that settled the area and the first settlers to Adam's County. Anyone interested in history needs to go! The price is really affordable!

Have visited twice. Such a different, wonderful perspective on the local history. Things that are not often taught to kids.Greeted by multiple staff upon arrival. We had our 10 yr. Old niece and she was invited to do a scavenger hunt with the chance to receive a small token reward. That was a cute incentive and worked. She enjoyed and asked questions throughout. The room you enter to learn the sense of what it was like during the battle for a family is really great !! I personally like the old documents and bibles of the first settlers. Will recommend visiting to any that inquire.
