The Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond

Written by: The Steele Group Sotheby’s International Realty

The Museum of the Confederacy is a historical museum found in the town of Richmond in Virginia. The museum features the previous White House of the Confederacy and is home to a large collection of manuscripts, artifacts, photographs and Confederate publications such as books and pamphlets dated from the Confederate States of America and from the American Civil War that was fought between 1861 and 1865.

This Museum offers the possibility to its visitors to learn further about famous leaders of the Confederacy. Indeed, you will have the opportunity to get information on Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee via stories that are told and by looking at what used to be their own belongings. The museum would also offer you the possibility of getting a glimpse at what it could mean to be a soldier and how life on the homefront was. This is made possible through exhibits.

Last year, in November 2013, some changes happened within the administration of the Museum. Its governance was merged along with the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar. This January 2014, further to that change, it was made official that the newly merged institution would now be referred to as the American Civil War Museum.
