    Interesting personal account of Civil War
    Review of: Admission to Lotz House Civil War Museum

    Our tour guide was Seth made the tour interesting while being historical to the Civil War heritage of the home. The house itself is not large, about 8 rooms, including a second floor. So you will be standing, walking, and using a staircase.
