National Civil War Chaplains Museum relocates

The National Civil War Chaplains Museum at Liberty University was recently granted a new location on campus. Occupying the former East Side Market on East Campus, the museum will take its place next to Doc’s Diner, a restaurant that pays tribute to the school’s founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell.

The museum exists to educate the public on the role of chaplains, priests, rabbis and religious organizations in the Civil War, as well as to provide a research facility for those studying Civil War chaplaincy. Artifacts include items from both Confederate and Union chaplains.

The grand opening is set for Dec. 1.

It'd seem more appropriate to move it to the NORTH Campus

Not for Prof. Rowlette: he's a southerner from Kentucky through and through. I hope they get one of those brown tourist attraction signs on 460. Maybe they will fly a confederate flag out front.

If I may ask...did they just shutter the Eastside Market? or is it being moved again?

since they built the bookstore, it is no more. To me it is a waste of space.
