The tiny wartime hamlet of Kernstown witnessed the start of Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's legendary campaign through the Shenandoah Valley in 1862. Two years later, a decisive Confederate victory led by Gen. Jubal Early prompted Gen. Philip Sheridan to take command of the Union Army of the Shenandoah and begin another bloody advance through the valley.
