Cultural Landscape Report for Ellwod: Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park
Ellwood, a modest Virginia plantation founded in the late eighteenth century, is a rural landscape with a Federal-period house facing east across farm fields and woods. Located near a historic crossroads, the quiet Ellwood of today was the scene of significant action during the Civil War, including use as a Confederate field hospital during and after the Battle of Chancellorsville in spring 1863, and as Federal headquarters a year later in the Battle of the Wilderness. A small granite monument in the Ellwood cemetary, in a field south of the house, marks the place where the amputated arm of General Stonewall Jackson was buried following his wounding at Chancellorsville. Ellwood became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in the early 1970s following a century of post-war private ownership as a working farm. The National Park Service restored the exterior of the house and removed most of the adjoining twentieth-century farm buildings.
