There are three galleries in the museum: Civil War Collection, Victorian
Dress Collection, and UDC Texas Confederate Flag Collection. There is also
an excellent film "Our Homes Our Rights-Texas in the Civil War"
The uniforms are really quite a collection, but the weapons, and flags are
also incredible. The sheer number of items on display from both Union and
Confederate forces is really something to see. Most of the flags are
Confederate and mostly Texan, but the collection of Union battle flags is
also extremely impressive. The constantly changing/rotating number of
dresses on display would make this museum a popular place by itself.
Due to the nature of the items on display, photos were not permitted in
the display areas.
