Ellwood Manor 36380 Constitution Highway, Locust Grove, VA 22508

"Nice historical location,a couple short walking trails to."

"We have lived less than 5 minutes away from this place for the past 7 years. We drive by it all the time. It's a short gravel driveway, which leads up to a small parking lot. We decided to give it a try. There's a gravel road that you walk along through a wooded area, which opens up to an enormous farm / field. You continue walking along and then through another small little forest. There's a house in an open area, and then there's a cemetery could just to the east of that along a little trail. The cemetery holds allegedly, Stonewall Jackson's left arm. The rumor says the arm was removed, however it's unknown and probably unlikely. We were going to continue walking to try and find a pond that it's supposed to be on the property. The thunderstorm prevented that, so we will definitely be going back."

"Fascinating piece of Civil War history. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Beautiful scenery and easy walking trails surround this home!"

"Ellwood Manor is a very beautiful place. The surrounding area can have you sitting there in a natural bliss for quite some time. There are many different types of trees as well as large trees to be seen in awe. We went for the Hammering through history event. It was kinda small in size but large in entertainment and information. The workers were very informative and caring, they could answer probably any questions you might have."

"This gorgeous 19th century build predates the Civil War. The house is now part of the National Park Service in the Fredericksburg- Spotsylvania Battlefield park system since it is a contemporary of the Civil War and even used as a hospital. The main floor is open to the public most days. You can even take a short walk down to the family cemetery where Stonewall Jackson's arm is buried."
