The National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg was incredible and we ended up spending a couple of hours there. And then we were on to Gettysburg to see one of the most famous and deadly battlefields.
Of course, Gettysburg was the major "turn around" battle in the course of the war. The cemetery which was dedicated by Lincoln with his profound Gettysburg address was very touching. It is hard to imagine how many people died there on July 1, 2 and 3 in 1863.
