On Oct. 26, The American Civil War Museum is hosting its first-ever Lincoln Prize Lecture. We asked ACWM CEO Rob Havers, and 2023 Lincoln Prize co-winner Jonathan White, a few questions about the event and White's winning book. Read their answers here: tinyurl.com/3y8pcynv

@Miss_Bellatrix was looking for this coat in Richmond @ACWMuseum museum, this was during my visit to the same museum that’s located in Appomattox. You know what that means? Trip to Appomattox in your future. I recommend this museum to all civil war buffs.

Located in the @ACWMuseum is the items belonging to J.E.B. Stuart. It’s amazing to see the feather plumed hat in person.

The uniforms here are items 11 and 12. The service undress whites for a US Navy sailor during the civil war is something I rarely see. Undress Whites are no longer a uniform in the Navy but Dress Whites are similar. @ACWMuseum
