The Exchange Hotel was built in 1860. It served travelers from the Virginia Central Railroad and the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. When the Civil War began, it became the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital. More than 70,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were treated there. After the war, it operated as a Freedman’s Bureau Hospital for newly freed slaves. As the country stabilized, the hotel reopened for guests. With the railroad industry booming, it regained its former role. Today, the fully restored building is a museum, housing a large collection of medical and historical artifacts.
Unexplained activity has been reported for years. Doors open and close by themselves. Employees hear footsteps, voices, and even see apparitions. Objects move or unplug on their own. Guests once woke to screams and moans, possibly from soldiers who endured painful amputations. Some saw black-clad nurses wandering the halls. One of the most well-known spirits is Anna, a former slave and close friend of Margaret Crank. Many have spotted her in the Summer Kitchen, making it a hotspot for ghost hunters.
