Take Interstate 78 west then I-81 south to Harrisburg. Go about one mile. Watch for a big red Parkside Cafe sign on the left. Turn left into Reservoir Park in front of that cafe. Follow signs up the hill to the museum.
Parking is free.
It will be closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Children under 6 are free. Anyone interested in history easily could spend many hours exploring the museum, which has a gift shop and cafe. But no exhibits are tailored to the interests of small children.
