After 63 years in our current building, we are excited to announce that the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum, the only museum in the Philadelphia area solely dedicated to the remembrance of the history of the Civil War, has a new historic home at 8110 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA.
We are very pleased to have been able to relocate to another certified historic building in a far more accessible area of the city.
To accomplish the immense task of moving the museum to our new location we will need your assistance and financial support
Packing and moving will be a monumental task over the next few months which will require the help of many. If you can give some time as a volunteer to assist with the move, please contact the Museum by replying to this message: garmuslib1866@gmail.com
The cost of archival packing and storage materials plus the additional cost of the actual move are quite extensive. We require certified archival materials to assure that our historic collection is properly protected. Please consider donating to the museum to support our efforts as we begin the move to our new location.
As a 503(C)3 non-profit organization, all donations payable to the “GAR Museum” are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Donations should continue to be sent to our current address, GAR Civil War Museum, 4278 Griscom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19124.
As of July 2, the Museum will be closed. The Archive and Library will be open for research by appointment only. We look forward to opening in the fall.
We invite you to become a part of the next chapter of the Museum’s history.
