The historic Fredericksburg Baptist Church and its congregation have borne witness to over two centuries of American history, all located in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. The current structure was completed in 1855. Less than 10 years later it received battle damage and also served as a union field hospital during the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862. Across Princess Anne Street from the church is a historical marker which further delves into the history of the church. Inside, the church sanctuary features beautiful stained glass windows which date to 1898. Today the church hosts a wide variety of community outreach and ministry programs.
