National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus Georgia
National Civil War Naval Museum
The National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, located in Columbus, Georgia is a fantastic place to visit if you are a history buff, like me. This 40,000-square-foot facility features two original Civil War military naval vessels, uniforms, equipment and weapons used by the United States Navy and the Confederate States Navy forces.
The highlight of the museum is the 180-foot hull of C.S.S. Jackson (also known as C.S.S. Muscogee), a revolutionary developed ironclad warship ram put to fire in the Chattahoochee River by the Union Army troops of Gen. James H. Wilson and recovered from the muddy bed of the river in the 1960s. Also, on display are what's left of C.S.S. Chattahoochee and an intact rowboat from U.S.S. Hartford, famed flagship of Federal Admiral David Farragut at the naval Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864.
Two models of the warships U.S.S. Monitor and C.S.S Virginia (the former U.S.S. Merrimack steam frigate under construction at Gosport Navy Yard near Norfolk, Virginia, captured after scuttling April 1861 with the naval facilities), used in the TNT cable TV channel's 1991 film Ironclads, and recreated full-scale sections of three other War Between the States-era warships are among the hundreds of Civil War artifacts located in the museum (including sections of U.S. Navy Admiral David Farragut's U.S.S. Hartford including the berth deck, wardroom and captain's cabin).
Oh, by the way, they give fantastic personalized tours.

PARAFIED April 2012
This video was captured during an ghost hunting event at the National Civil War Naval Museum during an Overnight event. Our two way radios seemed to be picking up interference of some sort do to an unknown source. We have not ruled out the aspect of someone making a poor attempt to contaminate our evidence but non the less thisis interesting and possibly paranormal. We ruled this as inconclusive evidence. At the least our team and our guest got a great thrill from this experience.

Lunch Box Museum Columbus Georgia
The Lunch Box Museum, in Columbus, Georgia, is the world’s largest single collection of lunch boxes and has been featured in many newspaper articles and on national television.
Allen Woodall owns the store and the museum. In fact, Allen was on the telephone trying to obtain a rare 1957 Toppie lunch box while I was enjoying the museum. I am not sure if the deal went through, but if you happen to have one of these lunch boxes, I bet Allen would be happy to talk to you.
Allen began collecting lunch boxes in the late 1980s and is still in the hunt for more. There are more than a 1,000 lunch boxes and related items, including thermoses, coolers and even tobacco tins that doubled as lunch boxes. In fact, there are so many items neatly stocked on the display shelves, it was hard for me to actually focus on one individual box.
