American Civil War Museum – White House of the Confederacy

Built in 1818, the White House of the Confederacy served as the executive mansion and home for Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his family from 1861 to 1865. Guided tours explore the lives and activities of those who lived and worked in the home.

The mission of The ACWM is to be the preeminent center for the exploration of the American Civil War and its legacies from multiple perspectives: Union and Confederate, enslaved and free African Americans, soldiers and civilians.
