Union Baptist Church
Inscription
Church completed, 1849. Occupied during the War Between the States by a Federal garrison to protect the one-lane covered bridge, which was a vital link in the James River and Kanawha Turnpike. The soldiers left the Church in shambles. It has been restored but bayonet marks, bullet pock-marks, gallery for slaves can still be seen.
Nearby the earthworks are visible.
