Re: Museum of the Confederacy closing

O.K. There were several problems associated with the old site, that we understand were the issue on the decision to move. But lets be honest. All Civil War sites have had diminishing attendance in the last decade. I love this museum and have supported it financially and spiritually since the 80s but as a member I have several questions. 1 where is this 20 million dollars coming from to build this NEW museum.2 what happens when membership to the MOC falls off because of the merger, they get a lot of coin from that. 3 what are they going to do with the museum property, it should be worth millions to VMC. 4 what happens if this new museum folds after a few years and theirs no home to return to.5 when the politically correct crowd sees battle flags guess what happens, oh I answered my own question, yeah! they are forced to disappear. How will this impact on the White House of the Confederacy, will they eventually try to move that too?. This deal has a lot of unanswered questions. All of us that love this institution should start asking some. This might be the best thing since malted milk or it could be another Edsel.
