We take a quick break from The Wilderness Battlefield to visit Ellwood Manor, a home that stood during the battles of Chancellorsville and The Wilderness during the Civil War. Stonewall Jackson's arm is buried in the back yard of the property.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
