Destinations in this Roadtrip:

• The National Civil War Museum
  The nation's largest museum portraying the entire Civil War, from beginning to end, without bias to Union or Confederate causes. A major focus of The National Civil War Museum is to educate the public and provide world class materials and facilities for Civil War research. Our emphasis is on "the human side" of the conflict. We exhibit and collect materials on the common soldiers, men and women on the home front and the experiences of African Americans. The military artifacts encompass all aspects of soldiers' experiences: from the personal equipage and weaponry of the War, to wounds, disease, prisoner-of-war experiences, and the emotional drain of the conflict. Exhibit Galleries are on both floors of the museum. Come see the history of the Civil War come to life! Visit the museum Wednesday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday 12 noon to 5 p.m.
• Harrisburg Cemetery
  Established in 1845 as a whites-only burial ground, the 350-acre cemetery is the oldest and largest in Harrisburg. Among the 30,000+ interred are well known Pennsylvanians including Revolutionary War and Civil War dead as well as Pennsylvania governors. In 1985, Harrisburg Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is open for self-guided walking tours and contains many significant monuments.
