This place is amazing. The way the descriptions are written you feel like you were there. Great artifacts. Could not believe the small amount of rations the soldiers had.

I read another review where someone wrote this museum kept their kids attention - it did mine too! I have an 8 year old that buzzed through Fernbank Museum & the Aquarium in Atlanta. He took the time to go through museum & do the scavenger hunt! It is great here as you can have the place to yourself -... More

Very nicely done Civil War area....the movie was terrific about the train race. Excellent area for children and much for them to see and learn--would hold their interest. Staff was exceptional--especially in the bookstore/gift shop. Highly reccormend a visit if you are in the area!!

If you enjoy museums you will enjoy this. It is a small museum but learning about the General and it's history was the best part!

The museum may be small but it is filled with quality displays of history. We really enjoyed the train section and the General Lee. If you like Civil War history or trains, you will find both here.
