The Confederate Hospital
The Confederate hospital was built here under
the direction of Dr. Andrew Russell Meem, by
order of the Confederate Medical Department in
Sept. 1861. The hospital consisted of three two-story
buildings, each 150 feet long, accommodating 500
patients. At the end of the war, the 192nd Ohio
Volunteer Militia tore down the hospital and
used the lumber to construct a large military
installation that included a courthouse, guardhouse,
gallows, and ballroom on Rude’s Hill, three miles
south of Mount Jackson. Federal ocupation
forces used these structures throughout the
Reconstruction period. The cemetery, which was
established directly across the Valley Pike in
1861, was dedicated in 1866.
Erected 1998 by the Department of Historic Resources.
