About

The Gettysburg Dime Museum is a recreation of a 19th-century dime museum. Loaded with oddities and curiosities, the museum exhibits a mixture of authentic and not-so-authentic artifacts leaving it to the visitor to distinguish between the two. Exhibits include: freaks of nature, true crime, voodoo mysteries, legendary creatures, historical enigmas, wonders of the world, and medical quackery.

Update: This museum closed on November 17, 2018.
