The Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum is housed in Winchester's former courthouse, a building closely tied to the town's Civil War history. Exhibits focus on local artifacts from the conflict, including firearms, insignia, and material connected to Winchester's repeated changes of hands.
It is a useful stop on a history-focused walk through Old Town Winchester. Pair it with nearby Civil War sites such as Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters, Mount Hebron Cemetery, and the old fortifications around town.
