Site of Jackson's Wounding  

Did You Know?
In 1888 members of Stonewall Jackson's staff placed a monument to him near where he was wounded. They choose a location along the main road, today called Route 3. The actual spot of Jackson's wounding was on the Mountain Road, about 50 yards NE of the monument.
