Greystone’s
American History Store
Our
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania store is located at the corner of Baltimore Street
and Steinwehr Avenue. It occupies an 1880 structure on ground that during
the July, 1863 Battle of Gettysburg was directly between the Union and Confederate
battle lines. With its wide selection of items, knowledgeable staff, constant
playing of documentaries, and its long hours, this site is quickly becoming
one of the most popular places to visit while in Gettysburg.
The first floor contains books and videos and miniatures relating to the American
Civil War. It also contains Miniatures,
and Children's items from all time periods. The front porch is enclosed in
glass, and glass shelving holding our miniatures. This area is literally our
showcase.
The second floor has
rooms containing items on Ancient History, 1492-1799,
19th Century (with the exception of the Civil War),
and the 20th Century. Each room contains a video monitor airing a Greystone
Production. For instance, in our 1492-1799 room you will see books, and
videos related to this time period plus a monitor playing The American
Revolution series that Greystone produced for the Arts and Entertainment
Network and the History Channel.
The Gettysburg store
staff is led by Manager Truman Eyler. Truman came to us from Eastern National
Park and Monument Association, a Cooperating Association/Bookstore for the
National Park Service. Truman is also a Licensed Battlefield Guide for the
Gettysburg National Military Park. Parking problems have been alleviated with
the recent purchase of the garages behind our store. Now 21 free parking spaces
have been created in front of the garages for your visit to our store.
