Sharing the Stories of Richmond Virginia Civil War Soldiers & Civilians

The most compelling aspects of the Civil War aren’t the bloody battles or sweeping campaigns, but the personal stories. The terror, boredom and camaraderie of the soldiers on both sides. The anguished life-and-death decisions by military and political leaders. The suffering and sacrifices of local civilians and residents. The journey to freedom for the area’s African-American population – the 150th anniversary also marks the end of slavery in America. All of these and more are chronicled by our informative, interactive Civil War trails , itineraries and exhibits.
