The bed was there last time i was there. I drove up there from Richmond back in 1980s. Had my 35mm SLR camera. The park guide let me stay in that room after everyone else had left. I tried to take photos. I had been shooting photos all morning. But inside that room, the shutter button refused to work. I felt something mean in that room, so I hauled butt outside. Lol. Walked around a bit and suddenly my camera started working! Everyone should visit that spooky place.
Thank you for all of the local sites and backstories. As a Spotsylvania resident, my wife and i have learned a lot of local history from your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Sure did enjoy this video. Had no idea the place where the General passed still existed. Glad to see the painting of the area at the time of death. Excellent video - thank you!
My Aunt Elizabeth (Chandler) Hayden was somehow the only family member left and inherited the property and also the Sterling Plantation about a mile 1/2 due West. I'm not sure of the family line tbh, I just know she inherited. She married my Uncle and they lived at the Sterling Plantation until my Uncle passed. I visited as a child and of course it was no longer a big money making plantation but they did use it as a farm. My Uncle worked at Dahlgren, Va. They kept chickens of all varieties, turkeys, and rabbits. It was fun to visit.

Too bad they took the bed and clock out. That was the most chilling part when the Park Ranger said to everyone to be quiet and all we heard was the clock: tick tick tick......to which the Ranger after several moments of ticking silence said, "this was the last sound that General Jackson heard before he died."
My 3rd great grandfather was a surgeon in the medical tent right next to where they were doing Jackson's surgery.
Great video!!!

Stationed at Ft. A. P. Hill in 1988-89. I loved just driving around and take in all the history that is EVERYWHERE. Pre-Revolution to present.

Thanks!
Glad to see you are back, you were missed! Thanks for sharing your travels with us!
Thanks you!
Thank you sir. I live in Portsmouth VA. History buff. I plan to visit.
Thank you so much- great video!! I had always heard that the mantel clock was stopped when he passed, so the time was marked.
I was there years ago and the bed and blanket were there. Why did they remove the bed?
Glad to see your back!
Thankyou for this great video!

Nice Job.
About 15 years ago, while coming back from Myrtle Beach, I saw a sign and got off the interstate and found this by accident. It was very interesting.
Is he the one that has a separate grave site for his arm?
Cool T-Shirt. Stonewall Jackson corpse for President! We might get something accomplished!
I wonder if they ever considered rebuilding the plantation house?
This is called Stonewall Jackson's SHRINE. That is the proper name for it. God bless!
Glad you're back I thought maybe you went to China or something
Ha!
Fitzhugh Lee was it Lee's son or his nephew. Both were named Fitzhugh. I'm quite sure i know the answer but I'm not positive
Don’t forget Goober was at the Arm location and that picture will be in the Goober the Traveling Bear Calendar
who is Goober?

Goober was there!!!
Everything that I have read about his death was he died in a upstairs room. So which way is it.
