While you're there, check out the pair of Gettysburg "guns" in the rotunda. (They look like small canons.) One still has a round stuck in its barrel. They were last fired on the epic third day of battle at Gettysburg by a truly heroic crew; the squad leader died beside the guns, having refused to leave them after he was mortally wounded.
