  Walking into the cemetery on a beautiful, sunny fall day the colors and cool temps presented a truly reverent experience. Walking past old headstones and the slow falling of leaves the Stonewall Jackson grave stood in the midst of such peace. This is simply a place to ponder the man and his family in their final resting place. It is not a museum or place to learn about him, but his burial plot and memorial. Very serene & somber.

  The grave is in the middle of the cemetary and has a large statue of Jackson on a pedestal and enclosed with an iron fence. It only takes a few minutes but if you're a civil war buff, you must see this and Lee's tomb. Visitors sometimes leave lemons around the monument, for those up on their Jackson lore!

  Brought my lemon for the General! It was a significant event in the civil war when Jackson died. To be at the gravesite was pretty cool. Lots of historical people that I have read about were buried in this cemetary.

  We stopped here to see the original grave site (fenced-in area for the family) and the relocated grave site/memorial. Lots of Civil War graves if you're interested in that sort of thing. We had a nice walk around the town afterwards. Saw a ghost tour group and wished we had gone on that, too.

  We happened upon the Stonewall Jackson Cemetery by accident, but had planned on visiting anyway. Very interesting. Lots of civil war graves.

  You cannot miss this statute and tombstone in the center of this cemetery. Great statute with markers for Stonewall Jackson and members of his family, wife, daughter, son in law and grandchildren. For more information of those buried here, pick up a brochure for 75 cents at the Jackson home bore visiting the cemetery.

  Although I tired of the lemons around the general's tomb, it is always kept in nice condition. Also several other prominent figures from the civil war are buried just inside the gate, do not miss them!

  Having seen the site of Jackson's amputation in Chancellorsville Va, we were glad to finally view his final resting place .

  I've ready many books about Stonewall Jackson and always planned on visiting his grave. We stopped here on our way to North Carolina and I never wanted to leave. The cemetery was old and many of the markers were weathered, but the graves of General Jackson and his relatives were beautifully maintained. There weren't too many people in the cemetery when we were there so I got to sit on a bench alone with my 10 yr old daughter just looking at Jackson's grave. It was pretty emotional.
