When we became the new owners of the Stonewall Jackson Inn B&B in downtown Harrisonburg in August 2019, we knew that part of the transition would include changing its name. We wanted to spend more time getting to know our new community and learning the business before making the change. However, it is clear to us we need to make the change now. We believe in and support the pursuit of justice and equality for all people. Places named after Stonewall Jackson carry painful memories and signify the history of slavery and oppression.
We are excited to share the full range of local history assets with our guests – from the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center to Civil War Trail sites – so that no history is erased or untold. By changing our name, we feel we can tell a more inclusive story of Harrisonburg and make more guests feel welcomed. It will help us reflect the respect and sensitivity that we have for our guests and neighbors.
