The American Civil War Museum at Historic Tredegar examines the conflict through objects, personal experiences, and interpretation beside Richmond's riverfront industrial landscape.
Its setting connects the museum with the material demands of war, while exhibitions bring different perspectives to the events and their consequences. This page identifies the Tredegar museum rather than every site operated by the organization.
Allow time for reading and reflection. Check current exhibitions and tickets, and confirm separate arrangements if you also want to visit the organization's White House of the Confederacy or Appomattox locations.
