The Civil War still echoes in Richmond, and you can glimpse one of the most turbulent times in American history by visiting the Museum and White House of the Confederacy. You'll see an astounding collection of artifacts that include artwork, letters, and other interesting items that date back to the Civil War. Some of the highlights at this attraction include Stonewall Jackson's weaponry and Robert E. Lee's "Appomattox" sword. The White House of the Confederacy has been meticulously restored to reflect what it looked like when Confederate President Jefferson Davis lived here. Don't forget to stop into the Haversack store for some unique novelty items and rare reproduction artifacts that will please any history buff.

Instead of just looking at art that others have created, why not express yourself with your own work of art? You can do just that at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. This organization encourages your creative spirit to surface as it offers you the chance to work with some of the area's most talented artists. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to come and get in touch with their inner-artist. Several different classes and sessions are offered, so check the website for specific times and dates.
