Lewis T. Moore invited Jackson to use 2 rooms in his home as his headquarters during the winter of 1861 - 1862.
This historic home was built in 1854 by William Fuller and sold to Lewis T. Moore, a Lt. Colonel in the Fourth Virginia Volunteers during the Civil War. It is a Gothic Revival-style house and a National Historic Landmark. Jackson lodged there while commanding the Valley District department of Northern Virginia. The museum honors the memory of General Jackson's military genius as Robert E. Lee's most valuable officer.
The museum has a large collection of Jackson's personal objects, including his personal prayer table, initialed prayer book, and several other things. When you go, the office is the same now as when he was occupying it. You will also see authentic furniture and period pieces with amazing décor and art with flags on display. For only $5 for adults and $2.50 students, it is worth it to tour this remarkable piece of history. It is open seasonally from mid-May to the end of October. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am - 4 pm, and Sunday, 12 pm - 4 pm.
