This museum exists to remember and honor the soldiers, from private to general, who suffered both in battle and in this area's camps.  Her in the war's largest encampments many would die of wounds and disease.  To give proper remembrance to these brave soldiers 'White Oak Museum' exhibits both military and personal items of Union and Confederate soldiers. The many items displayed were discarded or lost while troops were camped or fighting in the Fredericksburg and Stafford County area located in the state of Virginia. The museum is dedicated to the memory of those old time relic hunters: Pat D. Newton, Fred Stevens, Fred Bullock, Lou Curtis, Cliff English and George Sullivan; no longer with us, who dedicated a great portion of their lives in search of these historic artifacts from one of the most significant periods in American history...the Civil War (1861-1865). Located six miles east of Fredricksburg, Virginia, the old "White Oak School: houses an extensive collection of artifacts from actual battle sites and encampments of the Civil War.  Displays that will amaze the novice as well as the serious Civil War buff. After the White Oak School burned, it was rebuilt in 1912 as a one-room schoolhouse.  Over the years the grades ranged from primary to the seventh grade.  After closing in the mid-1960's it was used by the headstart program.  Thanks to many dedicated "old time relic hunters" from Stafford County it now houses a unique collection of Civil War artifacts.
