The Graffiti House is located on Brandy Road (Rt. 762) just off Route 15 in Brandy Station, Virginia. During the Battle of Brandy Station in 1863, the house was used as a hospital. It is believed that soldiers recovering there wrote their names and unit names along with messages and sketches on the walls. The area saw other action during the war, and both Federal and Confederate troops moved through the area. Both sides of the conflict are represented by the graffiti in this house.
