Civil War preservationist John P. Ackerly III passes away at 82
John P. “Jack” Ackerly III, one of Virginia’s foremost Civil War preservationists, died Thursday at his Richmond home. He was 82.
An attorney who served as rector of the University of Virginia from 1998 to 2003, Ackerly loved Virginia history—especially its role in the Civil War—and devoted years to trying to save the state’s battlefields from development.
