I just received the statement from the Civil War Museum: The National Civil War Museum is proud to call Harrisburg, Pennsylvania home. Opened in 2001, the museum hosts approximately 40,000 visitors each year from all fifty states and more than two dozen foreign countries. As a travel destination of choice in the city of Harrisburg and surrounding region, the museum is ranked by visitors on the website, TripAdvisor as the number two destination location out of the area’s twenty-four attractions listed in Laugh Harrisburg. In addition to its national and international recognition, TripAdvisor has also awarded the National Civil War Museum its Certificate of Excellence in 2013 and 2014. Harrisburg Magazine readers have voted The National Civil War Museum the best museum in the region on nine separate occasions. While the museum’s principal role and mission is education and the interpreting of the American Civil War to a wide ranging audience, like most organizations and facilities of its type, it also serves as an economic engine benefiting the local economy. As such, the museum currently generates over $5,000,000 dollars of direct economic benefit to the city of Harrisburg and the surrounding region. CEO Wayne Motts
