Pretty cool and very informative. The gentleman giving the tour had a lot of knowledge and was very informative. Definitely recommend seeing one of our nations heros birth place, as well as his brother John Sherman.

Wow..what a visit..to what a leader in Battle..we didnt even go inside but just seeing where this Badass Union General was raised was indeed a moving experience..there were several folks from out of state waiting for the Museum to open..I spoke with a couple from Michigan that were definitely moved by being there..a gorgous sign with a cannon in raised front yard

Interesting museum. The docent who led my tour was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information about Sherman and his family that helped to put them in context. There are some high quality gallery exhibits upstairs with many Civil War artifacts. Definitely worth a visit if you’re near Lancaster. It is in easy walking distance of downtown restaurants, shops, other museums, and lots of great historic buildings.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Sherman House Museum. The tour guide was detailed yet entertaining as she showed us the home of one of the greatest Union generals of the Civil War. The museum itself has some very unique Civil War artifacts that I have not witnessed in other museums. From those who are Civil War fanatics to those with a casual interest, this is a must stop.

The house is utterly beautiful as is the surrounding neighborhood. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Parking is available on the street on a busy highway. After your tour take some time to see the neighborhood.

Really glad we finally went! Learned a lot and the staff was excellent. Sherman was not only a Civil War hero but a very cool guy from a great family that understood Democracy and helped shape America. Bonus: Theres a handwritten letter from Lincoln upstairs!

Lancaster is great in the summer especially July. The grounds are immaculate, the house is not as great as the legacy.

Must visit if you are in Lancaster. Not sure most people realize Sheman was from Lancaster. Story of his life is amazing and to be in his boyhood house is special.

The hours listed are close@4pm/1600hrs. BUT the docent told me they only do guided tours. If no one is there by 3pm/1500hrs they close shop. So when we showed up at 3:10pm/1510hrs the place was locked up tight with a closed sign in the window. The docent was leaning on the front fence chit chatting, hence this inside dope from May2017.
