Happy Fun Fact Friday!!!

Did you know? From 1907-1954 the home of Thomas Jackson was turned into the local community hospital! Following Jackson's death, his wife, Mary Anna kept the home in her ownership before selling it to the Mary Lee Custis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

The UDC decided to transform the site into a hospital, making several additions before their opening in 1907. The hopsital served the community for many years and there are even many around today who were born in the house!
