    I loved working with Tredegar Iron Works on May 4th, 2019 for Haley and Michael’s wedding! Their staff was incredibly professional and accommodating during the rush of the big day. My clients really loved the views on the property as well!

    A great learning experience - so glad I happened upon this stop and checked out the museum. Very interesting and well worth it!

    Beautifully restored! This is operated by the National Park Service. Interesting info and short film in the visitors center. It is also attached to the American Civil War Museum, but admission to the museum is separate.

    Surprisingly good museum, albeit a bit small. Suggested minimum donation of $3 is more than reasonable, although parking in the lot comes at a premium price. Adjacent to the Civil War Museum.

    The docents are wonderful, and the blend of history and historical artifacts and photography is excellent.

    Beautiful place!!! So much history in every corner and the artifacts are awesome. If you're looking to learn lots and lots about the battles and historical places, find Bob Talbot. He's a gentleman who volunteers there and he has so much knowledge and is a great story teller. Will be coming back!!!!
