There seems to be some talk about starting a new museum in Philadelphia, dedicated to the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. The article below discusses a proposed site, and possible alternatives, where such a museum might be located.

There currently is a Civil War museum of sorts at 18th and Pine Sts. in Philadelphia, which includes, among other artifacts, the stuffed head of Gen. George Meade's horse, Old Baldy. That museum has not been well visited in recent years and there had been some talk, not too long ago, that it would be closed and the items in its collection sold off either to the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond or the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg. However, the article mentions the 18th and Pine site, briefly, indicating that, for the time being, the collection remains there.

One other fact of note for those interested in 19th century history - Memorial Hall is the only building remaining from America's Centennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia in 1876.
