ASSOCIATED PRESS The Museum of the Confederacy has the sword of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The restored sword will be displayed in Richmond until a satellite exhibition space is completed at Appomattox, Va. It will be less than a mile from where Lee met with Grant to sign the document of surrender on April 9, 1865.
