The house is a two-story, four bay, brick dwelling with a large, stone rear addition. It has a side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.
The house was constructed in 1800, by Cornelius Dorman. r. Archibald Graham purchased the house and significantly expanded it in 1845 by adding a stone addition on the rear and remodeling the front and interior to accommodate his medical practice. Dr. Graham sold the house to then-Major Thomas Jackson, a professor at the nearby Virginia Military Institute, on November 4, 1858, for $3000. It is the only house Jackson ever owned. He lived in the brick and stone house with his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
It housed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital from 1907 until 1954; when it was converted to a museum. In 1979 the house was carefully restored to its appearance at the time of the Jacksons' occupancy. The house and garden are owned and operated as a museum by the Virginia Military Institute from April through December. Guided tours are given daily, every half hour, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 P.M.

The Stonewall Inn, and its surrounding area also known as Stonewall, was the site of the famous Stonewall riots of 1969, which have come to symbolize the beginning of the gay liberation movement in the United States. It is located at 53 Christopher Street, between West 4th St. and Waverly Place, in Greenwich Village, New York City. Stonewall is regarded as the single most important event that led to the modern movement for gay and lesbian issues

Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson has been deemed by many as one of our nation's greatest generals.
His death during the Civil War was a devastating blow to the Confederate Army. This is his grave located in Oak Grove Cemetery in Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army's right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide, even today, as examples of innovative and bold leadership.

This monument to Stonewall Jackson is located in Charlottesville, VA. There is a movement afoot to have it removed. He was the most well known military leader in the civil war behind Robert E. Lee. He owned 6 slaves, 3 he received as a wedding present. He died in 1863 from complications of being shot by friendly fire.

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.
