We Are A 501c(3) - Not For Profit Organization
The National Civil War Museum is a private 501c(3) nonprofit organization. We rely on the support of individuals, foundations, corporations, and government funding to sustain our mission of preservation and education. Although the building is owned by the City of Harrisburg, we operate and maintain it on a daily basis. Your tax-deductible contribution will enable us to upgrade our lighting in the galleries for years to come.

Why Do We Need To Update Our Light Bulbs?
Most of our artifacts are light-sensitive, and to aid the preservation of artifacts on display, we are on a mission to upgrade our lights to LED. It will also help brighten up the gallery and make it easier for you to read our displays.
PayPal Partnership
We utilize PayPal to accept secure donations from our supporters. Paypal enables us to accept one-time, monthly, or yearly donations, even those that are re-occurring. Every dollar makes a difference.
