Salisbury Prison
The Confederate government in 1861 purchased 16 acres here, including several buildings, to serve as a prison for captured Union troops. When the exchange system broke down in 1864, the facility became overloaded to four times its original capacity of 2,500 men. An estimated 3,500 prisoners died here. The Salisbury National Cemetery was established orginally by the Confederates as the prison burial ground.
DO NOT PARK in the driveway - stay on the sidewalk. This is a private residence beyond the sidewalk. NO night caching at this location.
