About this place

A museum dedicated to Civil War history with over 15,000 artifacts from battlefields and the home front. Families can explore galleries examining the causes and consequences of the war, take guided tours of the former Tredegar Iron Works site, and watch musket-firing demonstrations. The museum runs daily programs and special events suited to different ages and interests. There is also a sister site in Appomattox, Virginia.

If you are a member here

A membership to American Civil War Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

  • the full ROAM list Museums of all kinds, usually at higher membership levels
  • the full NARM list Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
