Back to Museum of the Confederacy
If you are not a huge civil war fan and would not enjoy seeing articles of clothing, weapons, artwork and don't enjoy reading about the civil war don't bother to purchase the museum tickets. The museum is alot of reading and is very detailed (if your a huge fan your gonna love it!) Lots of personal items form Robert E Lee, JEB Stuart, Stonewall Jackson and more! The White House tour runs every hour on the hour (if your not interested in the museum you should get there at the top of the hour to tour the white house) The White House is very beautiful and contains several real period pieces. It is about a 30 minute tour (depending on how many questions your tour group has).

I'm really into Civil War history and this was a fantasitc place with a lot of artifacts belonging to some of the best known Southern Civil War generals such as Stonewall Jackson, J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E Lee. Very interesting place

I can never dislike anything about civil war history...I regret that I was not able to get back up during R.E. Lee's year long anniversary and view all of his affects you had on display...All the talk about moving the museum I think is a bad deal...Half the fun of visiting the museum is finding it and getting a feel for downtown Richmond...So much I did not get to see and do and hope to get a second chance soon...

My wife and I toured the museum of the Confederacy in January 2005. We bought both the Confederate White House Tour, as well as a museum pass. It was quite affordable, but the museum itself was a letdown. I like to see genuine articles, real relics of the civil war, but the WHOLE MUSEUM was coats and hats and pipes of various soldiers...

I have always liked history and genealogy and I feel that Richmond is not capitalizing on its past history. It has so many good things to offer. When it comes to Civil War History, some of the people still believe that it is holding them back. 99.99% of the people have forgotten the civil war, but there are certain people in this town that still use it as a crutch to make people feel sorry for them. The Museum of the Confederacy and the White House should be pushed by the City of Richmond
