So we send a day site seeing around Petersburg, VA. I love there little downtown area full of antique stores. This one had so much stuff and we would walk around laughing at some of the old stuff. Funny things that you had has kids but did not keep cause you never thought people years later would want them. lol! So anyways Petersburg offer this deal to go to 3 different museum or sites for a very cheap price so we jumped on it. We went to The old Court house museum (which now is a museum about the Siege of Petersburg and what the civilian in the town did while the war was being fought in their backyard). Then we went to CityHall Mansion. Which is just a big house that was build in the 1800s by an important family of Petersburg. Then we went to Bradford Church and Cemetery. The Cemetery is the 2nd Biggest in Virginia which is second to Arlington. Anyways it has alot of confederate soldiers buried here. Because after the war this is what they used this cemetery for. Also, there is the Bradford Church. The Bradford Church is an very old church that was build here. After the civil war they wanted to do something to remember all the confederate soldiers that are here. So they had Tiffany from Europe (dont remember full name of the artist) make stain glass windows for the church. Each state involved in the South has a window. Very beautiful, I wished I could have taken pictures of the windows but nope! All day none of the places allowed pictures on the inside. So here enjoy some pictures!
