For anyone unfamiliar with the Exchange Hotel museum in Gordonsville, VA, It's a Victorian era hotel that also served as one of the Confederacy's major hospitals during the Civil War. It later became a school for emancipated blacks after the war and then resumed operations as a hotel. Today it operates as a Civil War medical museum, but does a very good job of interpreting its other history, as well as playing host to paranormal investigators and ghost hunters. While hosting other events throughout the year, a special fundraising was held to raise funds for a new paint job that the large building has been so desperately needing for many years. To that end, Lynn and I both lended a hand by interpreting its antebellum period as hotel guests in the first person. If you can, please donate towards this worthy and very expensive goal, as it will go a long way towards the preservation of this very unique and historic building. theexchangehotelmuseum.org |
