The Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Virginia, was the biggest ironworks in the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and a significant factor in the decision to make Richmond its capital. It was established in 1837 and originally staffed by workers from the Welsh industrial town of Tredegar. By the time of the Civil War, half its workers were slaves.
. Now classified as a National Historic Landmark District, the site serves as the main building of the American Civil War Museum.
Although parts of the museum are modern and sleek, it also incorporates some of the original brick work, like this section of wall.
