National Civil War Museum

As President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address encompassed the emotions of the American struggle, The National Civil War Museum portrays this struggle as a timeline, from the issues straining the nation through the war’s conclusion at Appomattox Court House. Nowhere can you find a better understanding of the Civil War, its effect on the nation and on the people. Come walk our halls. See and feel the emotions rise and fall as you embrace Bull Run, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, Antietam and Gettysburg; once ordinary places transformed in a few hours to hallowed ground.
