Lots of history

I thought the whole area was the Tredegar Iron Works, but the building to the left is a park (free), and the building to the right is the Tredegar Iron Works (fee, but I bundled my ticket with the White House Museum) The American Civil War Center is full of history, the movies very informative, and lots to see on...

Before visiting Richmond's other Civil War sites, I recommend going through this museum, next door to the Richmond National Battlefield's visitor center and own museum .

The center's fantastic location by the James River in the heart of...
