American Civil War Museum
History Museum · Richmond, Virginia
The museum formed in 2013 when the old Museum of the Confederacy merged with the American Civil War Center, and rebuilt in 2019 into the ruins of the Tredegar Iron Works on the James. It holds the largest collection of Confederate material anywhere — including the coat and sword Lee wore at Appomattox — and it tells the war from Union, Confederate and African American perspectives at the same time, which is the reason to come here rather than to any other Civil War museum.
