SALEM CHURCH BATTLEFIELD
This is a photo of the monument on VA Route #3 to the 15th New Jersey
Volunteer Infantry Regiment at the Salem Church Battlefield (May 3, 1863).
41 killed, well over 100 wounded, and 4 missing.
Although the area looks scenic, this monument is on one side of 3 lanes of
traffic in each direction with a small pull-off on the right lane headed
west on Virginia Route #3 at the start of a small rise in the highway. The
area around the monument is totally commercially developed, with the
exception of the small Salem Church NPS unit that is across the highway and
diagonal to the monument. If you care to visit make sure you can get into
the right lane after the Exxon station
