I posted these in the Rides section, but thought I'd put these here too. I took these while riding around the Fredericksburg VA area yesterday. The first set is at Massaponax Church.





This set is near Spotsylvania Battlefield.

Very cool pics, thanks.

Love the pics... This could run and run 

Very cool! This would be a fun way to design a ride. Find an old picture then go and find that place (if it still exists). And create a topic thread for it! Might have to try that!

Looking up the history of that church, I thought this would be neat to see:
Soldiers used the interior walls to draw scenes of battle, write messages, and leave names of troops, companies, and soldiers. The walls were whitewashed after the war to cover the graffiti. In 1938, during renovation work, the writing on the walls was exposed. Portions of the graffiti are now visible behind plexiglass frames".

Shiloh Battlefield Confederate Memorial, Then and Now

Illinois Memorial at Vicksburg Battlefield, Mississippi.

I added a bunch at the posting located in the RIDES area.... might want to combine both of these, and let them live in the Rides area...
