 Stonewall
Jackson's Headquarters Museum
General “Stonewall” Thomas Jackson used
a Hudson River Gothic Revival style
home as his headquarters during the
winter of 1861 and 1862. This home is
now a Virginia and National
Historic Landmark located in Winchester
Virginia.
 The six-room cottage belonged to
Lieutenant Colonel Lewis T Moore during
the Civil War, who
invited Jackson to use his home as a
headquarters. Jackson occupied
two rooms in the home, one as a bedroom
on the upper level, and another as an office
directly below. Jackson’s office remains
virtually the same as it did when he
occupied it, preserving the essence of
his surroundings.
The home currently holds the largest
collection of Jackson memorabilia, and
various personal objects from members of
his staff. Some of these artifacts
include Jackson’s personal prayer table
and initialed prayer book, in addition to
other Jackson family artifacts.
Jackson’s office has been papered with a
reproduction of the original wallpaper
he once spoke elegantly of in a letter
home to Mrs. Jackson.
The Stonewall Jackson Headquarters
Museum features a gift shop that offers
a wide variety of Civil War books,
journals, and gifts. Periodically, the
museum also holds special events and
exhibits. The museum is open daily, with
the exception of
November through March, when the museum
is only open on weekend days. Please
contact our sales office on block ticket
purchases that include admittance to
Abram’s Delight Museum, Stonewall
Jackson’s Headquarters Museum, and
George Washington’s Office Museum. These
are just a few of the exciting
Shenandoah Valley activities to explore.
