Around the corner from Spotsylvania Courthouse stands Christ Episcopal Church. Built by the ancestors of some members of the current congregation, it was completed and consecrated in 1841. The church building was built of bricks made at a nearby clay field. Two additional acres were purchased from Harold and Dorothy Peters in the 1960s, and four more were acquired with the purchase of the adjacent house from the Harris family in the 1980s. Although the house has been home to several families over its history it is referred to as the Harris house by the church. The church campus now consists of the original Sanctuary, church offices in Booth Hall, the Harris House, and All-Saints Hall. Each Pentecost Sunday, the congregation celebrates the church’s founding and service to the community.
