Great experience

This was not a planned activity on our road trip. We came across this gem by chance and would highly recommend this trip to any one. This is a Confederate Museum as well, but please keep an open mind and visit it with an open heart and mind. The tour guide we had the pleasure of having was Larry and Lisa. They were both very knowledgeable and very receptive to questions. Take time if your in the area and visit this place you will not regret it at all.

    A Place Where History Lives
    They have an incredible facility, knowledgeable & friendly staff, and a growing collection of displays with unique artifacts that you won't find in any other museum. To top it off, admission is more than affordable, regardless of your budget. If you want to learn true history about the Southern U.S. and the War Between the States (or "the Civil War" if you prefer) then go visit this top notch museum... you won't be disappointed and you WILL learn something.

    A work in progress
    My wife & I only visited the museum. It cost $5 a person. The exhibits in the museum were interesting, but you could tell that they were in the middle of setting the exhibits up. Some were not labeled & some were just lying about at weird places. This museum tells the southern side of the Civil War. A side that is not taught in schools. Everyone has heard of atrocities committed by southerners during the war, but you never hear of atrocities committed by the Union. Although there were many. Funny how the victor always writes history in their favor. This place is a breath of fresh air in that it is the opposite of the current social climate in the US that everything Confederate was evil. I highly recommend going here if you want to understand both sides of the Civil War.
