The New Market Battlefield is the site where the Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson Monument, that was originally installed at the entrance of the main barracks within the grounds of the Virginia Military Institute, was relocated to on December 7th, 2020. The Stonewall Monument is currently under restoration, and will be placed by the wooden benches, by the plaques honoring six Virginia Military Institute cadets, in the fall of 2021. Once installed, the Stonewall Monument will be facing the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
