The Jackson's Mill Museum is the midpoint of a historic area representing the life of Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Greatly influenced by his Uncle Cummins, who raised him after the death of his parents, young Tom developed much of his character by building and working in this mill. Also featured are an operating grist-mill, general store, blacksmith shop, barn, and one-room cabin.
