Ellwood Plantation where Stonewall Jackson's arm is buried is a typical Virginia plantation with the original plantation manor house open to the public. Tour guides gave the history of the plantation and were very informative. Well worth the visit!

This is located at the lovely Ellwood Manor, in the countryside off Route 30 and 20. The family cemetary became host to Jackson's arm after it was removed following the battle of Chancellorsville down the road. The Manor itself is in the Wilderness Battlefield and is being restored.

Stumbled on to this historic site by accident. Enjoyed the tour of the old farm house and walked the grounds.

The grave isn't so much to see, but there was a reenactment/storyteller when we visited, and that was very good. Made the trip completely worthwhile.

This was the second time I've been there. The directions provided by the NPS were good. The actual burial spot, in relationship to the Lacy house needs better signage. Overall, this is one of several locations for the Stonewall legend.

not well delineated and a bit hard to find, hallowed ground that marks the place where the demise of the confederacy began

There was a cemetery behind Ellwood Manor where the arm of Stonewall Jackson was buried. A few other graves are left too.

RIP arm of Stonewall Jackson. His arm is buried in the yard of the restored house Ellwood. Since his death was a turning point and weird story of the Civil War, if you are visiting Chancellorsville and WIlderness, this place is worth a stop just to say you've been there. Guinea Station where he died is south of Fredericksburg and... More

...you're cheating yourself! I consider this a crucial place to visit if you're at Chancellorsville or the Wilderness. The Elwood Manor grounds are beautiful and the manor itself is very interesting. And of course Jackson's arm and the tragedy of him being killed by friendly fire. As a bonus, if you are a Marine or are interested in Marine Corps... More

It sounds odd, but the location isn't far from Fredericksburg and you should stop by if you're a Civil War buff.
