Default National Civil War Museum. Harrisburg PA

I am thinking of going up to the museum to check it out. Has anyone been there? What was your thoughts of it? If this thread already has been started I am sorry.
Thanks

We did a living history there a while back when I was with the 23rd PA. They displayed our flag and even took us into the back room to view various letters of enlsitment and such from our unit. Good museum in a bad part of town but a great view way up on the hill. As far as it being one sided or another as the PP mentioned is a seperate debate.
