The Civil War Library and Museum has closed its Pine Street home. Pennsylvania "cannot fund every project," said a Rendell spokesman.

Civil War museum won a battle, lost the war

A court fight kept it in Philadelphia, and Gov. Rendell promised aid for a new home. Now the state is reneging.

The Civil War Museum of Philadelphia - which state officials once believed was so critical to the city's cultural fabric that they waged a court fight to keep it here - has been refused promised capital funding by Gov. Rendell and has lost access to its planned new home in the heart of Independence National Historical Park.
