Civil War Museum

[Irishcat922]

We have a new Civil War Museum, only ten minutes from my house, and five minutes from our Church. I visited today and it was wonderful. It has a large section of memorabilia from Texas involvement in the War. They have a theater were they show a film about Texas and the Civil War. Anyone visiting the DFW area really needs to visit. It is $6.00 for Adults $3.00 for children. It is a great deal I could have stayed all day.

That's cool, Sean! I remember visiting the Confederate Research Center in Hillsboro, Texas once.

Virginia has a lot of such places, most notably the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.

What nice names those have, Andrew!

Unlike "Joshua" which breaks the 3rd commandment.
