Drawing from a rich collection of artifacts and documents, The American Civil War Museum - Appomattox interweaves stories of the Confederate government, the military, civilians and enslaved & free African Americans. The main exhibit details events leading up to, during and following the Civil War, with a focus on the "Appomattox Moment" where two legendary armies met for the last time. Gen. Robert E. Lee's coat and sword are featured items on display.
