old court house civil war museum印象

I'm always somewhat hesitant to visit regional museums but this is one I didn't regret at all visiting because I learned a lot from the exhibits, pictures, explanatory notes, maps and varied artefacts presented. It provided me with a perspective on the daily circumstances of this 4 year intercine conflict opposing brothers and families of the then US of A. The approximate number of deaths is now projected as having been around 700 000 americans, with its impact and demographic consequences on the later years of this developing country in mid to late 19th century. Visit this museum, you will not regret it.

Great place to learn history. Specially young folks who need to learn history more, it is interesting and unforgettable way. Travelled with family and friends enjoyed around beautiful Shenandoah area we stopped by several places. One of them was the Old Court House Civil War Museum. It was very nice.

The front desk lady was funny and helpful. The displays were nicely done. The building is very cool architecturally. There is a lot of history in this little building.

Great place to visit and view artifacts. You can see up in the old bell tower and ring the bell from long ago.

We visited the Old Court House Civil War Museum during our first visit to Winchester and would certainly recommend it to others. It was very informative and a pleasure to see.

Being English we have a little knowledge of the civil war, but found this little museum very informative, to the point of buying a history in the shop to learn some more. Well worth a visit, and perhaps if we had been here sooner we would have focused our trip to Virginia on seeing more civil war sites.

OK, the only way to get to this is by parking your car and walking through Old Town - don't drive around the streets like I did trying to find it! Was well worth it when you get there. A guide took me into the courthouse section and gave me some background on how the building was used as a hospital for both sides. I was on my own upstairs - exhibits were OK. It was more interesting though just to see the messages that prisoners/patients scratched into the plaster. Well worth stopping.

Very well appointed, Lot's of history, self guided tour to explore the artifacts at your leisure. Loved the writing on the walls from the civil war soldiers and how the museum left the original writing on the walls!

We stopped in after brunch and learned a lot. The exhibit area was a bit small but very informative. Highly recommend.

The first floor is the old court room well preserved and the second floor museum has many Civil War artifacts well presented plus actual graffiti carved by Civil War soldiers held here after the Battle. A must see in Old Town Winchester.
