Denmark Presbyterian Church & Britton Lane Battlefield

This 1854 church was built by slave labor and originally housed Masonic Lodge #154. After the battle, it was used as a prison for Union soldiers who had surrendered. It is undergoing renovation and will house a Civil War museum. Turn right on TN-223/Denmark-Jackson Road and go approximately 4.7 miles to Britton Lane Battlefield, where Union and Confederate troops accidently met in 1862. They battled for four hours and 87 Union soldiers were imprisoned in the Denmark Presbyterian Church. The site includes a mass Confederate grave site and a log cabin used as a hospital during the war.
