Recently learned my great great great great grandfather fought here and was close to the area so I stopped by just to see. To walk in the footsteps of my past. Its weird being right on the edge of a main road however so very thankful this land has been preserved so I could stand in the past with my grandfather.

Nice little stop while driving from Fredericksburg into the wild West. The historical info is good, especially if you stop at the Chancellorsville battlefield visitors center. The ruins themselves could use a little more context.

Very nicely maintained historic site and an interesting story from the civil war. It is worth stopping and visiting. We have driven past this site probably hundreds of time and we finally decided to stop. Only complaints are that the signs inside the roped area face the road requiring us to walk on the grass around to the side closest to the road.

Nicely kept historical sight. Sure wish it were possible to rebuild the home and it is very strange that the previous rebuilds get destroyed?!?

The Chancellor Familys house was an important part of the battle at Chancellorsville. The intersection that is right next to the house was a major control point. With General Hooker holding the house and the grounds around it for three days with 70,000 men at the start of the campaign. After 3 days of fighting the Confederates pushed the Union Soldiers out and to the north. General Lee rallied his men to victory and became one of his Greatest Triumph of the war. Route 3 (Plank Road) a major highway runs right in front of where the house use to be, now just a foundation is there along with historical markers.

Part of the Battle of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg National Historic site. Learn the history of this battle and the participants. Walk where men were injured or died for their beliefs. Follow the trail and stand where General Stonewall Jackson was injured and later died from friendly fire. An opportunity to gather objective information on a critical part of the Civil War.
