Site Marker: This building is a memorial to all Americans held as prisoners of war. Through exhibits and video presentations, the museum is a reminder that America's freedoms can come at great cost. The museum's architecture is not based on a specific place but is meant to evoke prison guard towers and stockades in general. Development of this landmark resulted from a partnership of many different individuals and groups, including the American Ex-Prisoners of War and the Friends of Andersonville

This etched canteen belonged to five Andersonville prisoners who ate in the same mess, a father and three sons named Shatswell and a fifth named George F. Noble. All survived their imprisonment
