The American Civil War Center is weighing a $100,000 gift to its interactive Richmond education center.

The gift is a bronze likeness of Confederate President Jefferson Davis being cast by Lexington sculptor Gary Casteel. The offer comes from the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

A spokesman for the Southern heritage group says the statue is a fitting tribute to the only president of the Confederate States of America in the city that was the capital of the Confederacy.

Brag Bowling says it would complement a statue of Abraham Lincoln, which was installed at the National Park grounds five years ago.

Center officials and representatives of the Sons of Confederate Veterans will discuss the offer on Tuesday. No immediate decision is expected.
