Jefferson Barracks Civil War Museum

Called "Missouri Civil War Museum" this building was built in 1905 as the Jefferson Barracks Post Exchange.  It is now one of the largest Civil War Museums in the country but also covers other conflicts our nation has been involved in.  It is located within the Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in South St. Louis County. This post features a tiny amount of the total exhibit space.
