This museum is dedicated to an accurate portrayal of the history of one of the most tragic periods in America's past: 1861-1865. We show the events as they were, without embellishment or revisionism. The museum is home to numerous artifacts and displays portraying the war and home life in the South during that time.

The arboretum is a Roper Mountain location that is lovely year-round, but it is especially glorious when the azaleas and Carolina jessamine are blooming in the spring. First established in 1987, the arboretum displays landscape specimens and identifies them with markers that show both the botanical name and common name for each plant. The natural setting located adjacent to the entrance of the Living History Farm provides a pleasant backdrop for displaying understory trees, shrubs, vines, perennials and annuals. The public is welcome to stroll through the arboretum during daylight hours when the center’s main gate is open.
