Stonewall Jackson Museum, Strasburg, VA
Down the road from Cedar Creek Battlefield sits the Stonewall Jackson Museum at Hupp’s Hill. This museum is geared more towards kids and the hands-on programs are great. Children have their own place in the museum where they can try on period costumes, climb into a soldier's tent, ride wooden horses complete with authentic cavalry saddles and bridles. ‘Discovery Boxes’ offer young children a chance to explore an historic topic through games, puzzles and artifacts. Be sure to bring the kids along. After all, what other Civil War museum allows you to pick up the guns? (Grown man or not, I took advantage of that privilege.) This shot is an ‘extreme close-up’ of the Confederate cavalry that are depicted on a large diorama showcasing the Battle of Cedar Creek.
