Drummer Boy Museum

On the main street of the little village of Andersonville the undistinguished front of a turn-of-the-century brick and frame building hides a national gem: Gerald Lamby's Drummer Boy Civil War Museum.  The Andersonville Welcome Center is located in the Lobby of the Drummer Boy Museum. 

 Fifteen mannequins wearing fifteen different authentic Civil War uniforms, both Union and Confederate, dominate the museum.  Featured are a colorful red and blue New York Fire Zouave uniform and both Confederate and Union drummer boy uniforms complete with drums.  The Confederate South Carolina Zouave drummer boy uniform is one of only two that are known to exist.  Visitors can be told who wore all fifteen of these uniforms and what happened to these military men.
