Can't wait to return to your museum and Richmond again soon...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/23/08
I can never dislike anything about civil war history...I regret that I was not able to get back up during R.E. Lee's year long anniversary and view all of his affects you had on display...All the talk about moving the museum I think is a bad deal...Half the fun of visiting the museum is finding it and getting a feel for downtown Richmond...So much I did not get to see and do and hope to get a second chance soon...
