[1843 - 1863] The "Angel of Marye's Heights" is pictured here in a photograph taken just before volunteering for war, c. 1860.

A view from down Princess Anne Street, you can see the spire of the Baptist Church built by the White Population of the old site Shiloh Church.

This is the Shiloh Baptist Church (New Site) built by the Black population of the original Shiloh Baptist Church.

In this chart you can see that the freed-black population of Fredericksburg grew significantly.

The computer-generated version of the 2014 addition to the Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian Church c. 1890. If you look close enough you can see the canon balls still in the columns of the Church.

Remaining in the columns of the church are two Civil War Cannon Balls, which have been left to remind visitors of the Church history.

This Church served as one of largest Civil War hospitals during the Battle of Fredericksburg in May 1863.

In this picture one can see Bridgewater Mills in the upper-right hand. The view of the Mills is from the Falmouth side of the Rappahannock.

Pictured is Bromtpon c. 1864, you can see the trenches and earthworks that had been dug on the property.

This is Brompton as we see it today, now the home of the President of the University of Mary Washington. (13)

Pictured is Brompton in 1862, this was taken around the time of the Battle of Fredericksburg.

In this post card one can see a Black man who is posing next to the Fredericksburg Auction Block. This man is believed to have been sold on the block earlier in his life.

This poster references a slave sale that occurred at the Planter's Hotel, which was located at the site of the current Butchers Shop.

Triplett was the last slave to ever by sold in the city of Fredericksburg, this sale rumored to have taken place at the Auction Block.

"At the risk of his life this American soldier of sublime compassion bought water to his wounded foes at Fredericksburg. The fighting men on both sides of the line called him the angel of Marye's Heights."

This Revere Bell was donated to the Corporation Court House by Silas Wood.

Chatham Bridge vaguely marks the spot where John Smith landed at Fredericksburg.
