This 5-stop audio tour looks at the role of the Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839, in the Civil War—many of the cadets trained here would go on to fight in the war. The tour can be listened to for useful information, even without visiting the Institute.
Scroll down on the "Podcasts" page to "Virginia Military Institute" to find the tour.
