The Museum of the Confederacy is arguably the premiere spot in the world to learn about the Civil War through the eyes of the Confederate States of America. In addition to its amazing collection of uniforms, weapons, flags, painting, photographs and other 19th-century memorabilia, the museum features a library with some 5,000 pertinent books and pamphlets. Set right beside the museum is the White House of the Confederacy, an early 19th century mansion famous as the residence of Jefferson Davis and his family. The museum and mansion are in Richmond's Court End neighborhood, within walking distance of the Virginia State Capitol.
