The Dunker Church is a reconstruction, if I remember right -- but years ago, during a CW reenactment, I with several others, spent the night in that church.

You are correct, Betty. The original church survived the battle, but was destroyed by a "violent storm" in 1921. It was rebuilt using the original materials in the early 1960s.
