Chris Dovi has an interesting blog post in Richmond Magazine about a possible merger discussion.
Three Richmond museums that focus on history may soon become more intertwined. The Museum of the Confederacy, the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar and the Virginia Historical Society have entered into discussions that may lead to a merger of the organizations.
The three museums have “a long history of cooperation,” says Jennifer Guild, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Historical Society, who confirms that the cooperation could evolve into a greater unity of the three entities. “All three of the museums are working together to determine what collaborations exist so we can make Richmond a premier Civil War tourist destination.”
