More Sights in Lexington

This is the memorial to T. J. 'Stonewall' Jackson in the cemetery named after him. Oddly enough, it is his second resting place. His body was exhumed from his family plot a few yards away (along with most of his family members) and reinterred here. His arm is still buried in Orange county in a private cemetery where it was amputated after he was shot. The arm's resting spot is the only marked grave in the cemetery This is the Barracks at VMI. All of the cadets that attend the college must live here.
