Located in the Sutherlin Mansion on Millionaires Row in Danville, the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History offers a wide variety of exhibitions, classes, workshops, camps and educational programs. Tours of the Sutherlin Mansion, once considered the “grandest house in Danville,” are also given at the Museum. The Mansion served as the “Last Capital of the Confederacy” when President Jefferson Davis made his way from Richmond to points farther south. The government remained in Danville until receiving news of Lee’s surrender at Appomattox on April 10. The house has been restored to appear as it did when Jefferson Davis was in residence.
