Hallowed Ground

Battle of Bull Run or "Manasses in Virginia" where the first ground battle of the American Civil War took place.

 

The house you see is a re-creation of the Judith Henry House where the first civilian casualty occurred when Union forces fired on the house trying to eradicate Confederate sharp shooters.

 

It was also on this hallowed ground where the Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson earned his famous nickname "Stonewall Jackson" by CSA General Barnard Bee.
