Exciting improvements are happening around Tredegar Street and traffic patterns are temporarily changed. The easiest route to take when driving to the American Civil War Museum is S. 5th Street to Tredegar Street and turn right. The museum is approximately 1/4 mile on the right. Parking is available in the gated lot a few yards past the museum, also on the right.
