Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum

The museum was small. But big enough. We could read everything, without feeling overwhelmed.

Very nice, but if you are used to going to the battlefields and walking through the exhibits for free, you will be surprised that this one is 15

Recommend you park in one of the parking garage on s. Braddock and walk to old town the museum is in the center of town very little if any parking near it

If you love this great nation and that which is our rich history of Americana, than this is a must see. To touch rifles of our fore fathers is awe inspiring, to me at least

I had not been there in a couple of years. Looks like a completely new museum. Interactives, educational and unique.

Beautiful museum tucked into Old Town Winchester. Located inside the historic courthouse in the center of the Old Town Mall, the exhibits rival any of the DC museums you can visit!

Very nice museum...showing history, experiences, story's and artifacts from the civil war.

They have completely redone the museum the past year (it doesn't look like the current pic). It's right on par with a Smithsonian museum now. It is incredibly done and has a great amount of information and artifacts. I highly recommend a visit.

The Shenandoah Valley is quickly becoming a favorite place for me to visit and to learn about its Civil War history. Went to Cedar Creek two weeks ago, visited here yesterday, and 3rd Winchester today! This museum takes what you see on the battlefield and puts artifacts and more stories of what was happening in the Valley. I loved looking at the Court room, seeing up the bell tower, and seeing the graffiti on the inner walls from the Civil War era. Definitely a cool building with a nice gift shop to boot! I bought a t shirt for the Shenandoah battlefields organization and my girlfriend bought one for her and another for her dad. (picture is from a couple weeks ago, April 14th)

If you are interested in history this is a must stop. Best representation of civilian life in occupation I have seen

Great weather outside and enjoyed the old Courthouse and museum.

I live in Australia & had to visit this, as my late US Father told me so much about his loved Virginia. In my view, this is stunning & so much to see, staff extremely great & showed me all around... definitely worth visiting.. the building itself is a credit to the all the builder's involved in building.. very nostalgic & loved it.

A beautiful museum with a rich, cultural historic overview of the area and an even more stunning exterior walking landscape!

This place is definitely worth a visit! The exhibits include a remarkable number of artifacts recovered from nearby battlefields. I liked that the numerous battles fought in the Shenandoah Valley were humanized by including quotes from those who were actually there. My favorite part was the preserved graffiti left on the plaster by prisoners of war. As I said, worth a visit.

We loved this museum. Wade who greeted us was awesome. The museum upstairs was worth the money. Alot of history in Wincester.

Our docent was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Used this trip for 4-5 grade education

quick tour lots of historical items to view. and definitely ring the bell!

So cool! The museum has thousands of artifacts from the Valley campaign and displays them in the unique, beautiful, old Winchester courthouse. You'll spend about an hour here. There is also a very neat little museum store that is worth visiting.

Great place with amazing history and lots and lots of artifacts. Truly a beautiful place to visit.
