Located along Main Street which is also US-11, this cemetery is the final resting place for…read moreConfederate soldiers who died in the area. It was established in 1861 across the road from the Mount Jackson General Hospital, operated by the Confederate Medical Department. It was dedicated on the third anniversary of Stonewall Jackson's death, May 10, 1866. During the war graves of the soldiers were marked with their names, units, and death dates. But after the war the graves were neglected, and by the time the United Daughters of the Confederacy erected the Monument To All Confederates in 1908, 112 had been lost. Today only three of the original 359 still stand: 1st Lieutenant Daniel C King, Company C, 16th North Carolina, died Jul 27 1863; Private John Hackett, Company E, 60th Georgia Infantry, died Aug 1 1863; and Solomon Shrader, Company C, 62nd Virginia Mounted Infantry, died Aug 11 1863. However, all 408 soldiers have been identified and include the following numbers by State: Alabama 43, Florida 5, Georgia 87, Louisiana 10, Maryland 4, Mississippi 5, North Carolina 137, South Carolina 33, Tennessee 4, Texas 1, and Virginia 79. They are guarded by a statue of a Confederate soldier that was placed in the center of the cemetery by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1903. The gates of the cemetery are closed and locked. A sign indicates that this is due to "the recent unpleasantness."

The marker is right near the pedestrian mall in downtown Winchester. It reads: On this site lived Mary Greenhow Lee, whose extensive diary survives as one of the most informative records of daily life in Civil War Virginia. Lee chronicled military engagements, homefront hardships, and the erosion of slavery. An ardent supporter of the Confederacy, she stockpiled supplies for the army, ran an underground mail service, aided wounded soldiers, and hosted Confederate officers, including Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. In Feb. 1865, U.S. Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan expelled Lee from Winchester, citing her "constant annoyance." She settled in Baltimore. After her death, she was buried in Winchester's Mount Hebron Cemetery with her husband.

I have collected chickens to decorate my kitchen for a while and found one at the craft fair painted up white with a red comb and three posts at the foot that I just couldn't pass up buying. You had me at 'chicken'. The Ruritan's are a social minded organization geared toward the betterment of folks who live in rural communities. People working towards making other people's lives better always get 5 stars in my book. P.S. Biscuits and gravy sold at the snack bar down stairs.

The history of the Hite Family and its prominence in this community was well relayed by our enthusiastic tour docent who was a wealth of good information. She also gave a fair amount of discussion about the enslaved people who ran the day to day domestic activities in the home. Unfortunately there are few first hand records from that group so I suppose much of their history is conjecture. The gift shop has some nice crafts by local artisans and the surrounding fields are interesting as the site of civil war battles. Belle Grove is a nice place to examine several centuries of history that relate to this property and deserves a visit by those visiting the Shenandoah Valley.

I should have read these reviews before I hired this company. Like some of the other reviews here,…read moreI hired Total Pest Services to complete a pest inspection required by my lender before closing on a new home after the appraiser noted some possible wood-destroying insect activity in the attic. After receiving the report from Total Pest Services, which said there were no live insects, our lender noticed the inspection report failed to mention anything specifically about the attic. When we called Total Pest Services to follow-up, they said they didn't even go to the attic despite it being accessible via a staircase on the second because they might fall through the ceiling (please note, the attic is semi-finished with a wood floor, no risk of failing through). They didn't even try and assess whether the attic was accessible. We had another company go out who found obvious live wood-destroying activity in the basement, where they supposedly checked, and in the attic, where they did not check. Luckily, we found this before we closed on the new home and were able to get the sellers to pay for treatment. However, I've been entirely unsuccessful in getting Total Pest Services to refund me for their incomplete and inadequate inspection. They've stopped responding to my emails. So new home buyers, do yourself a big favor, and don't hire Total Pest Services.
