CC at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg?

Does anyone know if this falls under the National Park Service? I haven't found anything on their website that says either way and assume that it is not, but I'd rather know if I can CC or not before I arrive.

It is NOT a national park. It's probably a non-profit organization, I would think that's it's not run by the government.

Thanks! That was what I thought, but figured it worthwhile checking with others beforehand.

Thanks again.

I'd check to see if it is a federally owned facility first though.. Its associated with the Smithsonian, so it could be a federal facility - thus off limits.

The visit went well, no signage or metal detectors. The museum itself was really interesting. They have a large collection of arms, clothing and documents covering the period of the war. They even had enough video/sound effects to keep my 9 year old interested. My 5 year old just wanted to hit the gift shop.
