I've never been to the GWTW museum, but the mention reminded me of Stone Mountain Park in GA.  I'd been there many years ago as I was interested in the Civil War.

For those not familiar it's (what I call) the Mount Rushmore of the Confederacy.  Mammoth carvings into the mountain of Jefferson Davis, and Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

Out of curiosity, I Googled it, and yes, there are protestors wanting it destroyed, similar to all the statues being removed.

That will be quite a job.

I've been to GA, but had no idea there was such a museum. Darn!

It was only about 100 people.  I would be shocked if that happened and it's not the main reason most people go.  At some point, you have to respect everyone's history and I say that as a temporary Yankee transplant.  I really don't see that happening anytime soon.

Where did all these items come from. An auction or some place. I love those kind of dresses.

There are no words... You don't obliterate history by removing statues or monuments... As some have become so fond of saying on these boards you can't fix stupid...
