Matt and I are on another father-son trip. This time we are visiting Virginia to explore Civil War battlefields, do some antiquing, and just have fun. Matt is an awesome travel partner. He always has an interesting and historic point of view. The north vs south Civil War is a particular area of interest for Matt. He has spent a considerable amount of time reading about the CSA and the Union activities. Virginia is steeped in history and particularly rich in places to visit and explore.

Today we are exploring the area around Chancellorsville, Virginia. This is a historic community in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, approximately ten miles west of Fredericksburg. The name of the locale comes from the mid-19th century roadside inn operated by the family of George Chancellor located at the intersection of the Orange Turnpike and Orange Plank Road. 

Civil War Battle of Chancellorsville occurred in the area during May 1863, and the Battle of the Wilderness was fought nearby in May 1864. During the 1863 battle, Lt. Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson was mortally wounded by friendly fire while reconnoitering the area. He died eight days later on May 10, 1863, from pneumonia.
