As the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War, Richmond holds many buildings and monuments reflective of this period in history. From the relics and documents contained in the The Museum of the Confederacy to the ruins at the ex-prison island of Belle Isle, Richmond still has an abundance of ways to explore this period of American history. You can stroll through the 19th century and Civil War gravestones of Hollywood Cemetery or study the displays at The American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar and see the effects past and present of this major struggle for power and ideals.
