Experience History Through the Eyes of Those Who Lived It

Some of the most compelling aspects of the Civil War weren’t the bloody battles or sweeping campaigns, but the personal stories. The journey to freedom for the area’s African-American population. The terror, boredom and camaraderie of the soldiers on both sides. The anguished life-and-death decisions made by military and political leaders. The suffering and sacrifices of local civilians and residents. All of these and more are chronicled by our informative, interactive Civil War trails , itineraries  and exhibits.

We invite you to experience the personal side of the war by clicking here  for five interactive Civil War Richmond walking tours from CivilWarTraveler.com. Themes for each include: The Home Front, Capital City, Industry/Commerce, Slavery/Freedom and Capital Square.
