The Stone House sits at a busy crossroads inside Manassas National Battlefield Park. Built in the 1800s as a stop for travelers on the turnpike, it served as a Union field hospital during both battles of Manassas.

It is one of the few buildings in the park that stood through both battles, which makes it one of the most direct connections to what happened here.

Check the National Park Service site for when the house is open to visitors.
