Stonewall Jackson House

The Stonewall Jackson House at 8 East Washington Street in Lexington, Virginia is the only home that the famous Confederate General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson ever owned. Jackson and his wife, Mary Anna Morrison, lived in the house while he taught at the Virginia Military Institute before the Civil War. The house, a Registered National Landmark, is owned and operated by the Stonewall Jackson Foundation.

This internet site is designed to serve as a source of information about the life and times of Jackson, particularly his days in Lexington, and to serve as a visitors' guide for those planning trips to this historic area.
