Please join us for the 27th Annual Confederates Take the Shriver House!  Just one evening a year, the Shriver House comes to life for this unique, living history reenactment. While tour guides tell the Shrivers' story, visitors can also expect to:

• Stand just feet from soldiers firing out of the attic
• Hear from Ms. Hettie and friends as the battle draws near
• Learn what it was like for surgeons and nurses to treat wounded soldiers
• Sip a cool root beer in the saloon
• ...and more!

This event sells out every year, so advance tickets are encouraged. Tours take approximately 45 minutes. Make sure to select "Other Times" to see all of the tours available.
