Fredericksburg, Virginia - Ellwood Manor

Ellwood Manor is the Georgian-style home completed circa 1790 by William Jones. Confederate forces used Ellwood as a headquarters and then hospital after the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. The family cemetery at Ellwood was where Chaplain Beverly Tucker Lacy buried General Stonewall Jackson's arm after being amputated after a friendly fire incident. That wound ultimately led to the general's death. Ellwood later served as a Union hospital during the Union movement to Richmond. Since 1998, the Friends of Wilderness Battlefield has tended to the building offering tours of the house and the civil war displays.
