This cemetery originally served the settlement of Millville, laid out by Israel Nuñez, who operated a stage stop in the vicinity after the Civil War. Although he set aside land for the cemetery, it was not formally deeded until 1934 by J.O. Walker. The earliest marked gravesite is that of William Jacobs (d. 1879). The settlement of Millville became Stonewall in 1875, and the cemetery remained in active use until 1939. Burials resumed in 1966, and a cemetery association formed three years later. The site is a landmark of local history. (2002) (Marker No. 12866)

There is really no crisis except an artificial one...If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the trouble will come to an end

This is the only house General Jackson ever owned. It was from here that he left for the war in 1861. The General never returned as he was killed at Chancellorsville. After the war this house served as a hospital and today it has been restored and contains a number of the Jackson Family Artifacts.

@ Mananas National Battlefield Park
Manassas National Battlefield Park, located north of Manassas, in Prince William County, Virginia, preserves the site of two major American Civil War battles.
This is a bronze statue of Stonewall Jackson that marks one of his gravesites -- he actually has two. His corpse is buried at this site in Lexington, VA. His left arm is buried in a separate grave in Ellwood, VA. During the Battle of Chancellorsville as Stonewall Jackson was riding back to his lines in the darkness, friendly fire from a North Carolina troop caught the general in the arm. It was shattered beyond repair and was amputated at a field hospital, located at Wilderness Tavern, on May 3, 1863. Photo: February 2007

Stonewall Jackson Shrine - Guinea Station, VA
Thomas Jonathan Stonewall Jackson died in this outbuilding on the Chandler plantation in the rural community of Guinea Station. Today, the Jackson Shrine is part of Fredericksburg / Spotsylvania National Military Park.
The Stonewall Jackson Shrine is the plantation office building where General Jackson died. The office was one of several outbuildings on Thomas C. Chandler's 740-acre plantation named Fairfield. This typical frame structure saw use primarily by the men for recreation as well as for work. Chandler kept records in the office and one of his sons once practiced medicine there, but with three of the Chandler boys away serving in the Confederate Army, the building no longer witnessed its ante-bellum level of activity.
The office stood bare, except for a few items in storage, when Jackson's ambulance arrived. Although offered the use of the Chandler house, Jackson's doctor and staff officers chose the quiet and private outbuilding as the best place for Jackson to rest after his long ambulance ride.
Today, the office is the only plantation structure remaining. The Chandler house burned at some point after the Civil War, and its shell was dismantled in the early 1900's. Once established as an historic shrine the office underwent restorations in the 1920's and the 1960's, and still retains about 45% original fabric.
