  A really interesting museum. Displays many points and facts about how the civil war affected the USA. As I tourist I enjoyed this visit. I would recommend giving this a visit if you are not too conscious of the civil war history.

  Really thought this museum gave some interesting info on the civil war! Super text heavy though. You had to read a ton - the biggest exhibit is a time line which details the causes and happenings of the war. I still learned some things I didn’t know. And would overall recommend a visit!
