The Virginia Military Institute Museum is housed in Jackson Memorial Hall, and exhibits include a display of Stonewall Jackson’s military uniform, raincoat, and warhorse, Little Sorrell.  The museum also features the world-acclaimed Henry M. Stewart Antique Firearms Collection.

Guided tours of the Virginia Military Institute are available beginning in the museum lobby each day at noon.  Visitors can see the four cannons that Jackson used in his artillery classes (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) as well as a memorial to the cadets that fought and died in the Battle of New Market.

The public is also invited to watch as the entire Corps of Cadets marches in formation during regularly scheduled full-dress parades.   A special full-dress parade is held each May 15 to honor the cadets that fought and died during the Battle of New Market.
