The Museum of the Confederacy opened in the former Confederate capital of Richmond in 1896 as the Confederate Museum. One of Richmond's oldest museums, it is the only institution in Virginia that began as a Confederate shrine and transformed itself into a modern history museum. The museum was a preservation effort on two levels: it rescued from destruction the former Confederate executive mansion and displayed in the mansion's rooms the artifacts—"relics" as they were called in the 1890s—of Confederate soldiers and civilians from the American Civil War (1861–1865) and the postwar Lost Cause era.
The museum's parent organization, the Confederate Memorial Literary Society (CMLS), was an all-female board chartered in May 1890, but descends directly from the Hollywood Memorial Association (HMA), which formed in May 1866 to tend the graves of Confederate soldiers at Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery. Early in 1890, the HMA's new president, Isobel Stewart Bryan, wife of publisher and businessmen Joseph Bryan, suggested that the association petition the City of Richmond for title to the former White House of the Confederacy, which had served as a public school called the Central School since 1871 and which the city planned to replace with a new school building
“Confederate Memorial Literary Society to United Confederate Veterans :
“SOLDIERS of the Confederacy, who loved our cause, and who for
more than four bitter years suffered in its defence — we, who are but the keepers of the records of your glorious deeds — give greeting.
“You have assembled once more in the capital of the Confederacy to lay the corner-stone of a monument to Jefferson Davis, our President, for a lasting witness of how we honor his memory and his unswerving loyalty to truth and
liberty. Hopeful in disasters, courageous in danger, submissive to
the will of Providence in defeat, he , has left a shining example for all coming generations how best to serve their country and their God !
“Amid the thronging memories of that heroic Past, which you and your presence in our capital recall we, women of Richmond, once more gladly welcome our defenders to our hearts and homes.
“We can never forget nor repay all you endured for us and our children; but we shall teach them to cherish your memory — to unite with us in the heartfelt prayer —
“God bless forevermore, the Confederate Soldier.
“AMONG the many societies which were organized immediately after
the war,
and which had for their object the preservation of the graves of our Confed-
erate dead, was the Hollywood Memorial Association. On May 3d, 1866, a few friends met to consider what they could do to show their devotion to the
Lost Cause. At that time the city, being under martial law, no open organized
effort could be made ; so, these friends privately going their way, met in Hollywood, bringing their flowers to lay on the soldiers' graves in tender sympathy with the aching hearts far away. As the years grew, and time and opportunity made it possible, the organization was made permanent. In 1867, a large bazaar was held on Main street, between 9th and 10th where the surprising sum of twenty thousand dollars was realized. Two years later the present Granite Monument arose in the Soldiers Section at Hollyivood.
“It was in February, 1890, that Mrs. Joseph Bryan, President of Hollywood Memorial Association, conceived the idea of securing the house which had been occupied by President Davis, and converting it into a Confederate Memorial Hall.”
