National Civil War Museum

The National Civil War Museum spans two floors in Reservoir Park, presenting over 3,500 artifacts including weapons, uniforms, and personal items from the conflict.

The museum opened in 2001 with a $32 million investment and formed a partnership with the Smithsonian Institution in 2009 to enhance its educational mission.

The exhibits present perspectives from both Northern and Southern viewpoints, illustrating the complex social and political dynamics of the American Civil War period.

Visitors can access the museum through public transit at Market Street, utilize free parking, and purchase tickets ranging from $14 for students to $16 for adults.

The collection includes Robert E. Lee's final battle map and Abraham Lincoln's leather hat box from his campaign trail, among 25,400 preserved items.
