Today I drove around to two places near my undisclosed location in eastern Virginia, which is in the same general area where I was during September of 2023. A short walk from the Chancellorsville Battlefield Visitor Center west of Fredericksburg, Virginia is this monument to Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The road behind it is Virginia route 3.
Near the Jackson monument is this grave of an unknown Union soldier.
The walkway seen in the top picture leads to this boulder, placed there about 20 years after the end of the Civil War to mark the place where Jackson was wounded on May 2nd, 1863. He died eight days later.
The other place I went to is the ruins of the Wilderness Tavern, near the intersection of Virginia routes 3 and 20. What was its fireplace is under a protective wooden structure.
In front of the fireplace are bottoms of the tavern's walls. The ruins are surrounded by a wooden fence.
Thus concludes today's report. Stay tuned for more exploration and/or news.
