St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Search

Dozens of leprechauns are hidden throughout the children’s history museum. Throughout the weekend, visitors can search the museum high and low to help find as many leprechauns as possible to receive a prize. (One prize per child.)

The interactive children’s history museum tells the engaging stories of children, teens and young adults who lived in the town of Gettysburg and the surrounding area during and after the Battle of Gettysburg. Families have the opportunity to experience engaging first-hand accounts from a number of young residents from 1863 including William Bayly, Albertus McCreary, Sadie Bushman, and Tillie Pierce.

The winter holiday events and activities are free with a ticket to Children of Gettysburg 1863®. Admission tickets are currently free for children/youth ages 12 and younger when accompanied by a ticketed adult.
