Susan is right, the Confederate Relic Room is top drawer. I loved my time there. Appomattox has a very nice museum located upstairs in the visitors center. I have never seen a NPS museum that was not top notch. Pay particular attention to the cases at Chicasmauga dedicated to the vandalism that occurs there. The Tennessee River museum in Savannah is cool, but Pope's Tavern in Florence, Alabama is my favorite of all time. It was a stop on the Jackson Military road, and a favorite of his. It was both a Union and Confederate hospital in the war and has very interesting artifacts along with a delightful lady to explain is detail, anything you might want to see.
Another good one is the Illinois Military Museum at Camp Lincoln in Springfield, IL. It is the repository of Gen Santa Anna's leg!
