With the end of the Spotsylvania battle, Grant began moving his forces farther
South, which would eventually result in the
North Anna battle. It was at this
time that he
relocated his headquarters to the Massaponnox Church. (The Church is just off of
U.S. Route 1, about ten miles south of Fredericksburg.)
Union troops surround the Church in the left photograph, above, which was
taken May 21, 1864; the right photograph was taken in May 12, 2001.

At about the same time that Grant moved his headquarters to Massaponnox Church,
Burnside established his headquarters at Bethel Church also near Fredericksburg
but farther East than Grant
The left photograph, above, was taken May 23, 1864; the right photograph was
taken on May 23, 2001. Note that a large tree blocks the front of the Church
when the photograph is taken at the same angle as the 1864 photograph. The
photograph below is another view of the Church.
