Virginia Governor Declares April " Confederate History Month.”

On April 7, 2010 Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia declared the month of April " Confederate History Month."  Did you know that the Red Fox Inn has a piece of Confederate history in it today? While fierce cavalry battles at the beginning of the Gettysburg campaign occurred around Middleburg, the Inn served as headquarters and as a hospital for the Confederate soldiers.  Strategy was planned upstairs in what today is known as the Jeb Stuart Room while wounded soldiers were cared for in the tavern rooms below.  The pine service bar, which is in use today in the Tap Room, was made from the field-operating table used by an Army surgeon who served with General Stuart's cavalry.  Don't worry it has been cleaned and sanitized since then.  Come check out where strategy was planned by General Jeb Stuart, General John Mosby and his famous Mounted Rangers.  While you are here checking out the Jeb Room and our Tap Room, be sure to take some time and enjoy some fine dining while you soak in the history.
