9/28/08 The National Civil War Museum

We loved this museum (in Harrisburg, PA) – it was well done, interactive, had video biographies throughout (helped to hold kids’ and my attention), and best of all gave us a great overview of the Civil War in one visit. The thing that struck us the most was the extremely high cost of war. Over ½ million war casualties and many more injured for life. Everyone was touched by this war in some way, and it was heart wrenching to hear their stories. We were moved to tears several times.
