The Museum of the Confederacy

The Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, was dedicated to preserving the history and artifacts of the Confederate States during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It housed a vast collection of weapons, uniforms, flags, and personal items from the Confederacy, aiming to educate visitors about that period. The museum also served as a memorial to Confederate soldiers. In recent years, it has merged with the American Civil War Museum, reflecting ongoing discussions about how Civil War history is remembered and interpreted.
