The Andersonville National Historic Site offers a powerful and educational experience, providing visitors with a sobering look into a dark chapter of American history. The museum and grounds serve as a thought-provoking reminder of the capacity for human cruelty and the importance of learning from the past. Visitors can explore the well-maintained Andersonville Cemetery, the top-notch POW museum, and enjoy a driving tour of the historic site, all free of charge. The combination of museum, cemetery, and driving tour is an absolutely worthwhile visit, with the park ranger providing extra stories and helping to bring the history to life. The grounds are beautiful, the tour is informative, and the museum serves as a beautiful tribute to all POWs. Visitors should plan to spend at least a few hours to fully experience the site, as there is much to take in.
