This museum was a wonderful surprise! They did a fantastic job creating a museum that intertwined the three different aspects of the civil war- the North, the South and the slaves. We all learned so much and enjoyed the numerous exhibits. It really was one of the more fantastic museums we've been too. We had taught our kids a little about the Civil War before we went to the museum, which was helpful but not necessary. Don't miss it if you are in or near Harrisburg!
