Several branches scattered throughout the city. Once you get to the one at Tredegar, get a map and you can visit the remaining ones. Some may still not be open for the season so check first.

This is a National Park site. It is free and excellent. Don’t get confused by the “American Civil War Museum” next door, which costs 12 bucks and is decidedly flawed and factually deficient. Here at the modest National Park site, you can view excellent artifacts...

The grim site of Chimborazo, one of the Confederacy's largest hospitals, begins a tour of the Civil War battlefields of Richmond. A map obtained here will lead you to the sites of the Battles of Chickahominy Bluff, Beaver Dam Creek, and many more. The bloodiest battle of all was at Cold Harbor. The losses here were greater than those at Gettysburg when time is figured in; 16,000 men were lost,...
