This was such a beautiful spot to check out in the city. Just a few blocks down from the famous Alley, there was a small entrance fee. I would definitely recommend anyone coming near the area to check this historical church.
It was an amazing experience to be sitting in this churches pew boxes, to think of the people who assembled and worshiped here looking for their inner peace and guidance in their lives, as they evolved to become some of the cornerstones of the USA. Lots of history here, be sure to enjoy if you come to Philadelphia for a visit.
So much history, defiance, resolution and spirit in this church that breaks away from its roots to be something else! It's a quaint little church with an extreme amount of history and defiance inside. Pay the $5 to go into it! It helps with the upkeep and is an awesome part of history!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here! We purchased a map along with our admission and found the pews of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, among others. Peaceful respit to a busy day of sightseeing. Make sure to walk around the gardens out back. Absolutely beautiful piece of history!
Beautiful church. There is so much history within the walls and grounds. Take time to speak with the historian that is often in the main sanctuary.
