Enlarge SALEM CHURCH BATTLEFIELD
A battle was fought here on May 3-4, 1863. The Baptist
Church was also used as a hospital after the battle. A new Baptist Church is
adjacent to this National Park Service site. The walls of the original
church are still marked with Federal shots fired at the Confederates who
used the upper floor for firing positions. Both old and new Salem Baptist
Churches are located on Route #3 (Plank Road) not too far from the
intersection with I-95 in the Fredericksburg area. This site is an island in
a sea of modern development and is difficult to reach due to extremely
congested traffic |
