The Civil War Museum at Tredegar

The US parks system has a Civil War Museum at Tredegar. Tredegar was the main iron mill used to made guns, cannons and railway ties for the Confederate Armies. It was one of the many buildings burned by the Confederate Army when they retreated and gave up Richmond. Below are some of the Ruins of the bulding as well as an original hole press used to make holes in railway ties.

This is a restored building from the mill now used as one of the 2 museums on the property.
