Tredegar Vandalized

[East Ender]

Just saw a post on a neighborhood website for Oregon Hill that vandals broke into Tredegar Thursday night and damaged displays. The post indicates the damage occurred at the National Civil War Center. The location indicated in the police report is a little confusing. My first guess is that the vandalism took place at the Richmond National Battlefield Park museum. However, the American Civil War Center is also located at Tredegar and since the report states Civil War Center, that could be the museum which was vandalized. Unfortunately, neither site has anything posted on their website in regard to damage and I cannot find any reports in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Hopefully that means the damage was minimal.

Regardless, it is very unfortunate that some individuals feel the need to commit such acts.

Here is a link to where I found the report

Wow, I didn't realize until I hit paste how long that address is!

It's pretty sad that everytime I log on to catch up or post on latest 1860s gossip that there's a new thread about a historic site thats been vandalized. Let me ever catch one of my youngsters doing this to any property and he won't live long enough to learn about this great nation's history.
