The Site of Stonewall Jackson's Death

I had read that the Park Service had decided to no longer man this site. It was to be available to visitors, but the building was closed and there would be no guide. About 10-12 years ago we visited here and talked to a guide...More

Side trip worth the taking!

The Stonewall Jackson Shrine is located outside of Fredericksburg Virginia on an old country highway. It is the location of Jackson's death after his mortal wounding at the Battle of Chancellorsville. It is staffed by the National Park Service and they historical staff is top-notch!

Great place to stop at if you like Civil War history. Not a shrine-it is the site of Jackson's death

I drove by this site so many times and thought it was a just a statue of Jackson kinda randomly off 95. Boy was I wrong. The house has some original artifacts, including the bed frame that Jackson died on. The park ranger goes into...More

Historic Visit for history buffs

The site is pretty basic, not too much going on other than the house the great general passed in. I stopped in on a Friday in February and the house was closed with no park service available. We were able to look thru the windows...More

Site of Jackson's Death; Not A Shrine At All

I'm interested in Civil War history, but, truthfully, based on the name I assumed that I would find a somewhat overdone "shrine" to Jackson on this site. Fortunately, that is not the case at all - this is the small house where Jackson died of...More

Well informed NPS Ranger made it better understood

It doesn't take long at all to tour this house/grounds. This is where Stonewall was taken after his arm injury, only to recover and then develop pneumonia, which caused his death. The place was purchased as a tourist location, but then eventually given to the...More

House open Sat-Mon in winter. Nice stop.

Not really a "shrine" which is good since Jackson wouldn't have liked that. It's the house he died in. No statues, no monuments. The best part is the NPS ranger who can give you dedicated attention and answer your questions about Jackson and the local...More

After passing the sign on 95 for years, we finally took an hour to visit this location. It didn't look like much, so we were pleasantly surprised to have an NPS ranger open the door and invite us inside. He did a great job, for...More

I you love history.... You have got to stop here!

Park Ranger gave a descriptive story about Stonewall and events that lead up to his death. They do have restrooms and water fountains. I will bring my family here if i am ever back in this area.
