One of the best museums we have visited. Plan on spending a few hours visiting as there is a lot to see. It's very well organized & presented. Unfortunately we were with a group & didn't have nearly enough time.

Absolutely loved this American treasure!! It is in Harrisburg Pa. Very clean and organized. Leave yourself about 4 hours to really get everything out of it. Staff is very accommodating and pleasant. A must see!

is it wert to came from new york to de museum

Donna Ledbetter | Sep 27, 2018

Yes, everyone interested in American history should visit the museum. In my opinion, the museum seems to tell the story of the war being about states’ rights rather than slavery. So if for nothing more than to get a different historical perspective, it’s worth seeing.

Is there a hotel nearby?

The museum is not in the greatest tourist area. I highly recommend something OUTSIDE downtown Harrisburg for your own good!

We just went in January 2019. It was 13 adult, 12 senior and child 11. I thought I saw somewhere that there was a military discount but the girl with no hesitation said no. Now I wish I would've checked on groupon first as there was a deal there. It was very well worth it and I'd love to see it again. Need at least 4 hours to see it or most of it.
