During the Civil War was one of the few iron works big enough to cast cannon in the South. Partially destroyed in the closing days of the war, now restored enough to show what they were able to accomplish.

We liked everything except for the fact that we were on a time crunch, and had to forfeit leisurely walking thru and enjoying all of the exhibits. We plan to return when we go back to Virginia this fall.

Great information on the role of Richmond and the iron works in the civil war especially on industry and the confederacy. Worth the visit.

Videos are great for the history of the war, the displays are alittle weak of items. Entrance is $8 very reasonable. The walk along the canal to the museum is nice.

Pleasant and interesting location by the River James and recently restored to its former splendor. We haas a professional guide for our private tour group who brought the historic site to life. Interesting activities including the history of the foundry and production of cannons for the Confederacy. A couple of hours well spent!

I walked down to see the river and found this site. I learned more about the Civil War and truly enjoyed the site. It is a pretty location to tour and there are many varied exhibits that will keep you entertained.

This attraction is hosted by the National Park Service and is free. Inside, you'll find a brief introductory movie about Tredegar's place in civil war armaments (they made cannons). There are some nice exhibits with artifacts and explanations of developments in each year of the war, and a large room featuring maps. Next door, in another old mill building, is a separate museum, The American Civil War Center which is privately run and does have an admission fee. See separate listing here at TripAdvisor.com.

Visited on Sunday morning. There were few visitors and we had a chance to talk to the very friendly staff. Recommend a visit if you are into industrial aspects of the Civil War.

This park like setting is right beside the James river it made guns at one stage along with other metal now it is a civil war / history of the buildings and Richmond . There is a movie which is well worth your time to bring all the history together . You see a lot of items and a storyboard of history .very well done .

This is a good place to see a timeline of Richmond history. The building the museum is in is part of the original iron works and is very interesting.
