Stonewall Death Site
0716-570-22
Since 1828, a small, unassuming building currently known as the Jackson Death Site has stood ten miles south of the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The building was once part of Fairfield, also known as the Chandler Plantation or Guinea Station. Other buildings that once stood within the vicinity of the Jackson Death Site included the farm home, outhouses, a smokehouse, and barns. Built not as a residence but as the farm's office, this building had no fixed purpose like most of the structures around it. Instead, the farm office was used for whatever the inhabitants needed at the time: that could mean simple storage or indoor workspace or file keeping. The farm complex was owned by John Thorton and later the Chandler family. After General Jackson's arm was amputated he was moved here for transport by train to Richmond. During that time he would develop pneumonia and become to ill to travel. He would die here turning this farm into a shrine to forever remember a great general and man.
