It is an absolute shame how this man runs this place! He accepted special treasured war memorials from family members of World War II veterans. Now he is only open on weekends. His Internet site said he's only closed on Tuesdays. I'm a big fan of the History Traveler and made a special trip to see this place. I show up on a Wednesday and a sign says they're closed and only open on weekends. A UPS truck pulls up and a woman opens the door. I told her I drove up special from Florida to see the museum and she could not have shut the door fast enough and told me we're closed. I can't believe he accepted war treasures from The Band of Brothers members under these circumstances. It's my way of paying my respects as I go to each Museum to honor what the greatest generation has done. I was also prepared to make a large donation to the museum. I would think the wifes and children of these war heroes would want their veterans treasures to go to a museum that would display them at least 6 days a week. I also can't believe the YouTube history Travelers series now attaches themselves to this third class Museum.

Absolutely take It to a park guide or to the main museum. It is against the law to remove anything from the battlefield.

Yes it is, however, if you like what you see, feel free to leave a dollar or two to keep what Erik has going there moving forward. (They accept donations). It is a tremendous collection and it truly is a Gettysburg treasure. Parking on the street should not be a problem.

Does anyone know the cost of tickets here? And how large is the museum?

If I remember correctly, it was free to get in. If it did cost anything, it wasn't enough to make me remember it. I think there were meters on the street for parking. It's not very big. It's the first floor of a reaidence. Just a few rooms. It was very interesting and worth the 2+ hour drive. There are some inexpensive items to purchase to remember the trip. We bought aome Civil War Memorabilia.
