Civil War Naval Museum

  Free ebook from Amazon - The Monitor and the Merrimac

 The role of the navy in the Civil War is easily overlooked but it played an important part by blockading the southern ports and preventing the shipment of cotton out and much needed supplies back in. The museum has the remains of two Confederate ships that have been recovered after spending about 100 years sunk in the river. Full scale, partial reconstructions of three other Civil War ships are on display inside the museum and a complete reconstruction of another is located outside.

  Everything inside the museum is accessible but some backtracking is necessary to avoid steps. Reading all of the information on the story boards might cause some neck strain because they’re  positioned little high on the wall. The Water Witch, located outside, is not accessible due to a loose gravel path and steps to the deck of the ship.

   The parking lot is large enough for all RVs.  Museum
