Richmond Battlefields

Today was the day to go to the Museum of the Confederacy and the White House of the South. This was an unbelievable experience. I spent about 2 hours in the museum and an hour in the White House. The house was a very moving experience . The guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question that was thrown at him. Next stop was Cold Harbour Battlefield.
