Stonewall Jackson Headquarters - Winchester

Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters Museum is located on North Braddock Street in Winchester, Virginia.  It was here the Confederate General planned his Shenandoah Valley Campaign during the winter of 1861/62.  The home, known as Alta Vista, was originally built in 1854 by William McP. Fuller and was soon after sold to Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Tighman Moore.  Early in the Civil War Tilghman was commander of the 4th Virginia Infantry, part of Stonewall Jackson's Brigade.  Jackson had recently been promoted to major general, after the First Battle of Bull Run, and was given command of the Valley District, which was based in Winchester.  Tilghman loaned his home to Jackson for use as his headquarters.  He moved here in October, 1861 and lived here, with his wife Mary Anna, until March, 1862, when the Valley Campaign began.  In the 1960's the home was turned into a museum, which it remains to this day.  Stonewall Jackson's Headquarters was added to the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967, and was added to the Virginia Landmark's Register in 1969.
