History with Waffles is live in Gettysburg

A live broadcast from Gettysburg took viewers inside the Shriver House Museum, where the guide detailed a 30-minute tour of the fully restored 1860 home and the fate of the family who lived there during and after the battle. The streamer highlighted the gift shop’s artifacts and noted that the museum sits next to Salue, with the next guided tour scheduled for 2:30. During the walk, the host acknowledged comments from viewers, including a mention of Coster Avenue and the brickyard north of town, and pointed out the birthplace of Jennie Wade, a notable civilian casualty of the battle. The broadcast also previewed an upcoming stop at the Adams County Historical Society, where the host hoped to speak with the actor who played Simcoe in the series Turn: Washington’s Spies.

The host joked about making a pancake instead of a waffle by crossing through traffic while navigating the town, and clarified that a soundtrack heard earlier was not a copyright infringement. Viewers were encouraged to submit suggestions for what to see next on the battlefield, with about half an hour of free time remaining before heading to the next event. The plan included visiting the location of John Burns’ statue, tied to the first day’s fighting, and examining several monuments across the field.

The host also mentioned that the event featuring the Turn actor had been well received, noting that one of the cast members, Samuel, was particularly funny.
