Small but fine local museum in and of Fredriksburg. Being myself German it was very interesting to read some letters from 2nd WW soldiers to their spouses at home. How the single person experienced the war, especially when Hiroshima was atomized and a single soldier was just hoping the war ends so that he can get home to his loved ones. Overall the museum has its focus on civil war, great war, 2nd WW and it is well equipped with material for that. Aside from the exhibition of the wars, there was a exhibtion of the old bank and their equipment in the old times. I found that interesting, becuase I never thought about banking in the old times. In the upper floor are old posters from the 40s that I think pointing out the values that the society had and why it was worth to defend it. Its worth a visit.

Fredericksburg has become my favorite town to visit and was very enjoyable to be able to stroll through this local museum to learn more about its past. It contained alot of artifacts and had a bit of history I don't think you'd be able to read about in a general book on Fredericksburg. This museum is also conveniently right next to a historical chuch with an old church yard cemetery..in which the museum does have some history on.

My Alpha Delta Kappa sorority chapter enjoyed our visit at the Fredericksburg Area Museum. The exhibits were great, especially those showing before and after photos. My favorite artifact was George Washington's godmother's silver snuff box!

Interesting museum, very small though, i feel like i was reading through wall boards more than looking at artifacts and displays. This museum embodies a generalization of the history behind fredericksburg.

Avery Ballet Presents Halloween on Main Street. An outdoor ballet performance for the whole family, at the Fredericksburg Area Museum. The performance was outstanding, amusing as well.
