The mission of Ronn Palm's Museum of Civil War Images is to honor the Civil War soldier by exhibiting original photography of the soldier through an excess of over 4,000 original images and artifacts on display. Located at 229 Baltimore Street in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the museum opened to the public in 2000 in a two-story log home dating to 1802. Now covered in brick, it remains the second oldest known structure in Gettysburg's historic district. The museum's collection focuses mainly on soldiers from Pennsylvania. One of the most impressive exhibits features the Pennsylvania Bucktails with over 350 Bucktail photographs and various memorabilia and reunion items. Palm's massive collection also features photographs from other Pennsylvania infantry and cavalry regiments and artillery batteries that fought at Gettysburg. Other states are represented, too. But Pennsylvania furnished more soldiers to the Union's Army of the Potomac than any other state. And, as Palm is eager to point out, Pennsylvania soldiers manned the stone wall at the Angle and Copse of Trees and turned back Pickett's Charge on the last day of the battle.

I attended school at the Barracks and it's a great place in US history. The LeTort Spring runs through the base and it adds to the greatness of Carlisle. Practice your bass catch and release in this beautiful place.

Wanted to go to this place for awhile now and finally had some time on a Saturday to drive up to Carlisle PA. It was a nice day for a drive and only took about 50min. from Hanover to get there. The complex is huge with 2 large main buildings and a mile long outside area where the buildings and military vehicles are kept. Even with the masks restrictions, you can still do the interactive exhibits inside, including a parachute jump and a gun target simulator. We enjoyed outside the most, it took us about 1.5 hours to see everything outside spread out over 2 large fields. There is no charge for the center and it really was a great place to visit!
