White House of the Confederacy Museum in Richmond
The Jefferson Davis Home in Richmond, once the Confederate president’s residence, is described as a landmark atop Shock Hill overlooking the James River. The mansion became a Confederate museum in 1895 after women from the South raised funds, preserving relics from the Civil War era in rooms including the Tonnanses and Tenterces rooms with items such as a purse, saddlebags, a sword, and cuffs worn by Generals Banks and Hollorab.
