Discover artifacts and memorabilia from the Civil War and other major American conflicts. The museum also features beautifully crafted miniature dioramas of ten major conflicts of the Civil War as well as a life-sized narrated Confederate encampment. The museum is located in the former home of the Soldier’s National Orphanage.
Soldier’s Museum featuring all major events of the Civil War. Step through these doors and a hundred years drop away. Here is the battered drum that rolled beneath the roar of so many battles… the damn yankee rifle that can be "loaded on Sunday and fired all week" …an officer’s uniform, gala with tarnished braid…a rusted canteen. With exciting techniques of "Light and Sound" the most beautiful exacting and exquisitely detailed battle Dioramas ever created of the Civil War bring history dramatically and colorfully alive at the Soldier’s National Museum. A presentation of historic authenticity that will make your spine tingle. Follow every battle with all their significance to every American, from the first shot fired on Fort Sumter to Appomattox and surrender. Your visit will be a thrilling experience and the basis for a deeper understanding of our past.
Artifacts and memorabilia from Viking War through Persian Gulf.
Also have 10 dioramas of the 10 major battles of the Civil War explained in audio.
