I was particularly curious to see the Civil War graffiti written on the walls by soldiers. This was not unusual in Civil War hospitals; patients became bored, after all. I've seen such writings on a wall of a private residence in Alexandria (since covered with drywall, but not before it was recorded - see brief mention here). At Brandy Station, the graffiti has been partly uncovered and can be viewed. (See examples.)
The visitors' center also has a film and some interesting artifacts, including a hoe fashioned from a sword.
