Stonewall Jackson House ADA Tour 

I am Mexican~American and my Wife and I visited the home. I am proud of American history.

i had visited this house 2 years ago . It was a cute and adorable house both inside and the outside .

I am a huge Stonewall fan. Have been for approx 30 yrs. I am born/raised in Lexington Ky but have lived in Va Beach 30 yrs. I have driven through Lexington,Va MANY times and have probably told myself 20-25 timees that I simply must stop and tour this house...but never have. Thank you for posting this

Stonewall Jackson's boyhood home was in Clarksburg, Va.(now West Virginia) Although the old log structure was razed many years ago photos still exist.

Hope the house is doing well in the present political environment huge fan of Stonewall

Complete detail of Stonewall Jackson life explained very beautifully.

I have visited the homes of many people of American history including Washington and Madison and was always surprised by how sparse the furnishings were and how basic life was. I realize that we live in very different times and I was born in the early 1960s but just 100 years earlier we would have seemed excessive and probably semi wealthy and I spent a good many years growing up in church parsonages as my Grandfather was a preacher and spent considerable time raising me. Just amazing how times have changed. Thanks for the video.

During our DC tour last year, we went to Manassas, VA to see the First Battle of Bull Run National Park. I paid respect to the monument of Stonewall Jackson because I have so much admiration for this man. He was a good general and a good christian man who feared God.

Well thank you for preserving the house it's very interesting to see a very famous General thank you Bob

Thanks to a great lady who rescued it when the big house was being demolished, I have the parlor lamp from Fairfield plantation where General Jackson died.

Thank you very much. He was my ancestor

Awesome house - feels like Stonewall may turn the corner and you’ll meet him there!

The stairs to the front door were added as the street was significantly lowered because horse drawn carriages could not make the steep ascent. That according to the tour we took in 2016.

the movie "Gods and Generals" brought me here. thanks for this.

video tour is very well presented. I enjoyed the little tidbits of personal information also. Thank you.

Wonderful tour and video!

Shoutout Stonewall J

Not sure how you call 6 slaves as 'investing'. Two he purchased, at their request, one was his cook and the other her husband ; 3 were his wife's slaves brought with her into the marriage, her personal female servant and that woman's 2 young sons; and the 6th slave was a 4 year old girl (it is said she had some physical disabilities), the first two slaves requested he purchase so that she would not be sold away from her relatives in town.

thank you

Nicely done!

Along with being a great leader and soldier, for his time, he was also famous for his dry and boring lectures at VMI. The Civil War made his personality.

Just a man, but a giant of a man.

I have read that Jackson was a "stern taskmaster" as an instructor. He was heavy on "memorization". That is not necessarily the best method for long term retention.

He was very famous at virginia military institute

We can not judge the past by today’s standards . It just ridiculous. Read and learn about history. God made the choice who the winning side was and let God be the judge of Confederacy. This is history !

The great and good T. J. Jackson rests in Valhalla.

I share a birthday with General Stonewall Jackson!!!!

02:15 - I'm puzzled by this. I visited the home about 18 years ago, and I could have sworn the guide said that the street had been significantly raised, blocking the first floor entrance that Jackson used, and the restorers found it necessary to create a new entrance on the next floor up. Did that actually happen during Jackson's life, or after?

Which cousin gave him the rack? My great great grandmother Mary E Winn (Walton) was his 2nd cousin. His mother was her first cousin.

Where were meals prepared, and, what might they have been? I have heard detatched "Kitchens" were prevalent in the 1800's.

Where did Ed Jackson and their daughter live after he was killed? The video tour was very interesting

I love how he fought for his home state of Virginia, which I believe is our best state of the United States.

If anyone knows what this song is, I'd much appreciate knowing what it is. Thank you very much.

I've been there! I loved the visit. Why would Jackson owned slaves and only one home! In the CITY of Lexington?

What does it mean his remains lay in state at the Virginia military institute but his body is buried in the cemetery

Lmao 2022 bet this are not around now what would be sad

I kind of believe in Jesus

It was a shame his own men ambushed him by accident and his entourage outside of Fredericksburg virginia

Stonewall died fighting to preserve and expand African American slavery. Shot three times by his own men during a nighttime recon foray. Not much military skill demonstrated with that move. Good riddance!!
