Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters Museum, Civil War museum in Winchester, Virginia.
Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters Museum is a three-story Gothic Revival house that served as a military administrative center during the war. It holds weapons, letters, maps, and objects that show how this place was used to coordinate operations across the region.
The general used the house in 1861 as a base for military operations in the Shenandoah Valley. It became an important location for planning campaigns that shaped the region during the war.
The house shows how military leaders lived and worked during wartime, displaying furnishings and personal items from that period. You can see what objects mattered in an officer's daily life and how his domestic world differed from that of ordinary people.
The museum is located downtown and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signs from the main streets. It is a good idea to set aside enough time to explore the rooms thoroughly and examine the objects closely.
In the museum you can see the original desk where the general drafted his military plans. The preserved maps show in detail which routes and positions he had to track during his campaigns.
