Small but interesting museum with lots of small artifacts. The stockade could use more additions and explanations. Too many fire ants, so watch out for your little kids. The national cemetery is definitely worth your time. Our honored dead from the civil war to today are here and it's an interesting window into our history and their lives.
It was amazing. It taught my children so much about their ancestors. I loved the museum and the fact that we got to see where our papa was buried.
Home of the National Prisoner of War Museum (includes POW experiences from the Civil War to present day), 2 informative movies, a cemetery, and Fort Sumter/ Andersonville Prison. Picnic area. Hiking and automobile tours. Self guided free loaner CD. Prisoner lookup computer. Gift shop. Free admission!
As with all the Civil War sites I have visited, watching the film at the visitors center sets a good tone for a great visit. The story behind it, will humble you. Take the time to walk the grounds. You will be walking the same ground that thousands of Union prisoners walked. The site is set up well and you can drive around it. I suggest sitting at the top of the hill under the trees near the visitor center and look out upon the field and imagine what it was like. There is also a POW museum on the sight. It is very well put together and is worth your time. Finish up by driving to the cemetery on the site to get a great visual aide look at the immense number of people who died.
Andersonville Georgia is one of the most historic places preserved to remind us that war is hell. I was very pleased with my visit. You should honor the fallen soldiers when you visit.
