Ronn Palm is the owner of thousands of Civil War-era photographs. In 2000, Palm opened his museum in a two-story log home that dates back to 1802. The bulk of Palm's photographs are images of Civil War soldiers from Pennsylvania who were part of the state's infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
Since many individuals in the photographs remain unidentified, Palm is using an online catalog system to collect as much information as possible about the men in his images. His goal is to eventually find the names of every soldier depicted in his collection of roughly 4,000 pictures. Ronn Palm's Museum of Civil War Images is only open on weekends, and admission is free.
Address: Ronn Palm's Museum of Civil War Images, 229 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA, 17325, 724-664-5150
