I truly enjoyed my visit to the NCWM. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The exibits were full of information. I especially enjoyed the videos that followed different characters throughout the period before, during and after the war. This added a great personal touch to the exibits. I would recommend this to everyone.

Great find! Spent the week in Gettysburg and read about this museum. The 45-minute drive was well worth it. Lots of artifacts to see! Beautiful museum and easy to find. Seeing Lee's bible was pretty awesome... Would go back!

We had about an hour and a half to go through everything which I didn't feel was enough time. I could have listened for hours to the displays, read all the plaques, etc. I could have easily spent three or four hours there. The actual location and building are gorgeous as well. There were kids taking prom pictures overlooking the... More

I live very near the museum and go at least once a year. When friend's come to town it is always recommended. Plan at least two hours to tour. Make sure you stop at each video station to listen to the story. The first time I went, I did not take the time to listen at every stop and boy,... More

Not a likely place to have a Civil War Museum as it is about an hour from Gettysburg. However, it is well done and has plenty of excellent artifacts. The building itself is beautiful and the museum is worth seeing.

This Museum is a great find! It has a lot of history and fun for the whole family. Sometimes if you go at the right time you can catch reenactments.

My family and I recently visited the National Civil War Museum In Harrisburg, PA and I must say it was a great trip for the kids. It was not a massive museum so the kids were not exhausted by the end of the exhibit. The permanent pieces that they have are very fascinating and in great shape. Living in the... More

This is one of the best museum I have been to in a long time. Everything is written well and pictures are clear. You have both sides of the war represented well. Expect to spend 2-4 hours in it.
