Graffiti House

The Graffiti House was built in 1858 in the village of Brandy Station. Because of its location — on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad and the Carolina Road, as well as less than a quarter mile to the train depot — the house was used extensively by both Union and Confederates armies throughout the Civil War. The earliest known graffiti date to the Second Manassas Campaign in August 1862, as the armies transited Culpeper County.
