About Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum

The museum occupies the Frederick County Courthouse on Winchester's walking mall. Its signature exhibit, One Story, One Thousand Voices, combines artifacts, displays, and immersive features to trace the whole Valley's wartime experience, from the road to war through the postwar era. Visitors can also see wartime graffiti left by prisoners held in the building, which served as a hospital, prison, and barracks during the conflict.
