MTM Passing
« on: January 25, 2017, 07:38:03 PM »
Today a staple of 60's and 70's TV, Mary Tyler Moore passed away at 80.  You may wonder why I post that on a Civil War relic forum but here is why:

Mary Tyler Moore is a descendant of Lt. Col. Lewis T. Moore. While Commanding the 4th Va. Infantry Moore offered his home in Winchester, Va. to be the headquarters for Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. From there Jackson planned his Shenandoah Valley Campaign 1861-1862. In the 1960's the house was purchased and converted into a museum and includes much of Stonewall Jackson's memorabilia. Mary Tyler Moore helped pay for the restoration, which is now a National Historic Landmark.

I've not been to the museum.  Is it still there?
Best,
Carl

Yes, it is; though it is only open for part of the year.
