Stonewall Jackson House to Celebrate His 184th Birthday

On Monday January 21st, the Stonewall Jackson House in Lexington, Virginia, will be celebrating the general's 184th birthday. Free tours will be given and birthday cake and hot-spiced cider will be served at the next door Davidson-Tucker House.

This is the only house the general ever owned. In 1979, it was restored to its appearance when Jackson lived there. There was another renovation in 2004.

Happy Birthday Stonewall. --The old B-R'er
