For those interested in the Confederacy and the Reconstruction in Greenville County, you will find a wide range of political and military leaders interred at Springwood. As one enters through the main gate one notices the large number of unknown Confederate soldiers. These men died either in the hospital located on the green at what is now the Art Museum and Public Library or in transit on the railroad. Some had lived through the war never to reach home. The Museum is dedicated to the two hundred and fifty thousand gallant Confederate soldiers killed during the War Between the States, and in honor of all Confederate soldiers who answered the call to duty.
Membership is available at the twenty-five dollar level and above.
The Sixteenth Museum is a non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
