2 reviews of The Museum of the Confederacy

Not Just for Civil War Buffs

A Civil War Buff, I am not, but Richmond was the capital of the south and thus there is a lot of Richmond history that stems from this time period. To better understand the city's heritage, and for a surprisingly unbiased view of the war, head to the Museum of the Confederacy.

Documenting uniforms, life at camps, important battles, and local history, there's a great overview of the war itself without taking a political side.

If there's a downside, it's that many of the displays are a bit dull. However, find a docent or read carefully, and you'll find the museum is packed full of interesting information. It may be a bit too sterile for most children (though they'd love the White House next door), but adults of all backgrounds should enjoy it.
