About

The Virginia Museum of the Civil War is the only state-owned Civil War Museum and is administered by the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). The site consists of three elements: The Virginia Museum of the Civil War, the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park, and the Historic Bushong Farm. In addition to year-round self-guided tours, the park offers education-specific programs throughout the year. School group programs are designed around the Virginia Standards of Learning. Adult programs range from explorations of the Bushong Family and their times to the motivations of soldiers North and South. The site is on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail System. Picnic tables and public restrooms on site.
