This is an awesome way to really make history come alive! I have 5 children ranging from middle school down to infant. Everyone but the baby learned something and enjoyed the trip greatly! And with 5 children, this was still very affordable!!!

This is a great place to learn more about the War Between the States. I would encourage home schools to study some on this before they go, but with the film shown in the center, the partially rebuilt fort, etc., there is so much that can be learned directly on site. You can search for ancestors who fought or were interred here, too.

Going during a reenactment would be even more fun, usually in late May and Oct.

There's small stores in the adjacent town of Andersonville, along with the only statue in America to someone who was convicted of being a war criminal.

You'd probably want to bring food and drinks and remember it gets really hot down here.

This was an excellent trip to learn more about the war & what pow's faced. It was extremely emotional in learning of the sufferage, but also left a lasting impression of the facts stated before us.
