I read another review where someone wrote this museum kept their kids attention - it did mine too! I have an 8 year old that buzzed through Fernbank Museum & the Aquarium in Atlanta. He took the time to go through museum & do the scavenger hunt! It is great here as you can have the place to yourself -... More

Very nicely done Civil War area....the movie was terrific about the train race. Excellent area for children and much for them to see and learn--would hold their interest. Staff was exceptional--especially in the bookstore/gift shop. Highly reccormend a visit if you are in the area!!

If you enjoy museums you will enjoy this. It is a small museum but learning about the General and it's history was the best part!

Also, there is a huge display of the equipment used by the Grover Machine Works to build 200 steam locomotives that were delivered to 12 states and 12 countries.

This place takes one back to the days of the wood fired steam locomotives and the roll they played in the Civil War.

A real train! And a good history story to go along. Unique combination of the railroad and the Civil War. Good children's area. Frequent special events and exhibits. Excellent facility and convenient location and parking.

The museum may be small but it is filled with quality displays of history. We really enjoyed the train section and the General Lee. If you like Civil War history or trains, you will find both here.

If you have any interest in the Civil War, you will LOVE this little museum and theater. The actual locomotive of fame is dispalyed outside,and the story behind its recapture is fascinating.
