This museum is a must see in terms of Civil War History. It houses some of the most important artifacts from the time including weapons and uniforms. Come during the week for great walk to food carts.

Don't miss the White House tour. Our tour guide (Charlie) was extremely knowledgeable -- a true historian, unlike our experience at some other historical sites.

Opened in 1896 & was founded by influential Richmond society ladies. The Museum houses the largest, most comprehensive collection of artifacts, personal effects & other related memorabilia.

The museum is right next to the Main Hospital. You can go inside and visit the gift shop for free. They have flags, maps, books, stickers, portraits, swords, knives, hats, bandannas, patches, +.
