American Civil War Museum, Civil War history museum in Richmond, United States

The museum complex spans three locations in Virginia, including Historic Tredegar, the White House of the Confederacy, and a facility in Appomattox.

Established in 1896 as the Confederate Museum, the institution merged with the American Civil War Center at Tredegar in November 2013.

The collection includes 15,000 military artifacts, 150,000 documents, and 500 original battle flags representing perspectives from both Union and Confederate sides.

Veterans and active military personnel receive free admission with a guest during Veterans Day weekend at all three museum locations.

The museum operates from the Historic Tredegar Iron Works, which manufactured artillery and ammunition during the American Civil War.

Military museums: collections of weapons, uniforms, and war vehicles

23 elements

These military museums gather objects that tell stories of wars and the people who experienced them. You will find weapons, uniforms, combat vehicles, letters, photographs, and old documents. The collections cover different periods and conflicts, from the Middle Ages to recent wars, including the two world wars. In London, the Imperial War Museum holds records of British military life since 1914. In Moscow, the Museum of the Great Patriotic War focuses on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. New Orleans hosts the National WWII Museum, which looks at American involvement in the Pacific and Europe. In Seoul, the Korean War Memorial traces the nation's history through its armed forces. Other sites like Bovington Tank Museum or the Royal Armouries in Leeds display military equipment from many centuries. These places help you understand how conflicts shaped societies and changed fighting techniques. You can see real objects, sometimes rare, and learn about soldiers' daily life beyond the big battles.
