“It is an historical monument," said Titchenell. Built in 1824 on the site of two earlier houses of worship. Mount Salem is considered the oldest church building in Rappahannock County.

Titchenell explained that being included on the Virginia Landmarks Register will protect Mount Salem from ever being razed. He noted that neither the state, federal nor local government will have the power of imminent domain to sieze church property for widening the road that the building sits next to or for any other project.

Acknowledging that he didn’t see any current threat to Mount Salem, Titchenell noted that status as an historical monument would protect the church into the future.
