The National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, located in Columbus, Georgia, is a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) facility that features two original American Civil War military vessels, uniforms, equipment and weapons used by the Union and Confederate navies. It is the only museum in the nation that tells the story of the two navies during the Civil War.The museum opened in 1962 at 202 4th Street in Columbus as the James W. Woodruff, Jr. Confederate Naval Museum, named after the man whose financial support made the museum a reality. In March 2001, the museum relocated to its present $8 million facility at 1002 Victory Drive and received a new name to reflect new exhibits that showcase both the Union and Confederate navies.
