Greetings from Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park

I took my father in law for a tour of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville battlefields July 2024. We also went by the Stonewall Jackson Death site (inside was under repair and closed). I had reached out to the HQ on the Jackson house and Mary O'Neill was kind enough to reply and also help with some suggestions for our upcoming trip. She was very responsive and professional.

Sincerely,
Stephen
