Henry House, Manassas Battlefield National Historical Park, 2014.The house was the farmhouse where the first recorded civilian victim of the Civil War died. Bedridden, Ms. Judith Henry, 85, refused to leave her home when Union soldiers were using its situation, atop a small rise. Artillery fire from the Southern terrorists hit the house and killed her. The house is kept unpainted as it probably would have been in the 1860s; paint was a luxury commodity and small farmers rarely afford it. -- source link
