Jackson's Mill Historic Area

Jackson's Mill Historic Area preserves a slice of American history. The boyhood home of Thomas J "Stonewall" Jackson, the mill provides an insight into this famous man's life. The current mill was built in 1841 and looks much the same today as it did back then. The Jackson's Mill Historic Area is located on the grounds of the West Virginia University Jackson's Mill Center for Lifelong Learning and State 4-H Camp.
