The location was not easy to find. There is a cemetery annex behind the V.A. hospital which some websites list as the location. The historic cemetery contains a mass grave with over 11,000 unknown Union soldiers buried there. The cemetery is not very large and is easy to walk around.

The place where you come to "frame your pain". Throw bottles, dishes and glassware 'til your heart's content in our warehouse... Leaving your troubles behind. Our local artists then rescue your glass and make it into something new and beautiful, on display in our gallery. Let off some steam while turning negative energy into a new form. Great for a night out, party, work or just because.

This park has so much to offer. There is everything from two different playgrounds, Carousel and train rides, water feature and a mini Zoo. There is also gem mining, which we partake every time we go. Tons of open space and field and covered areas for barbecues. Just an awesome place which also has a great Festival in the fall, called Autumn Jubilee.

If your a Civil War buff, this is your place to visit.... Dr. Hall has connections with the Salisbury POW Camp during the American Civil War. Very well maintained, excellent tours available with staff who know the history.... MUST SEE.
