Simple Machines at Tredegar
Mornings at the Museum are BACK this Spring Break! Though it is a museum today, our site used to be the home of the Tredegar Iron Works, the largest iron works in the South! It produced thousands of manufactured goods, both for civilian use and for the Civil War. Join us to create simple machines and explore artifacts that were used at Tredegar to learn more about the history of the Iron Works! Recommended for children. Free for members! Tickets include access to all exhibits.

Organizer
The American Civil War Museum explores the most critical period in America’s history–the Civil War era. Our premier artifact collection, immersive exhibitions, and diverse programming tell the stories of soldiers and civilians locked in a struggle over the soul and future of this nation. We invite visitors to see themselves as part of an alive and evolving history. The American Civil War Museum explores, inspires, and promotes the public’s understanding of the Civil War’s causes, course, and consequences.
