I had went to this chruch 9 years ago, on a group trip in high school. This go around, I was with family, and we very much enjoyed ourselves, the speaker was great, she really knew her history. Words really cant describe the experience, it is really the first African Baptist Chruch. It's Great American History, not just Black History,... more

This was our most enjoyable tour during our time in Savannah. Our guide Joseph was fantastic as well as entertaining. He led us through all aspects of the church. He explained the history as well as how the church functions today. My husband and I both felt this was the best tour. There was no fee, but at the end... more

One of the best tours we had while we were in Savannah. We happened to be checking out the outside of the Church when we realized that a tour was about to take place (Usually at 10AM and 2PM). The tour hostess was very informative about the history of the Church and told us many stories regarding the Pastors and... more

Visited this site with Johnnie's Freedom Trail Black Heritage Tour (which is phenomenal) and was overwhelmed at all the history in this church. more

This is an amazing tour that you can not miss. Incredible church filled with secrets about the underground railroad. Some clues still haven't been unvcovered. Ask to see the markings on the balcony upstairs. This tour is simply unbelievable and the tour guide is extremely well versed in her subject matter. Please do not let this gem go. more

Ms. Wortham was truly a most knowledgeable, interesting, and passionate church historian and tour guide. This was a very memorable tour and I wish to return and bring... more

While small, the museum has an incredible collection of handwritten documents, photos, and items from the 1800s. Check out the handmade quilts and the history behind the designs. Fascinating... more

This church, which was built by slaves, was used as a part of the "underground railroad" during the Civil War. The holes in the flooring (air holes) are still in existance. The holes form a design, which probably led others to believe it composed a tribal symbol. Upstairs in the balcony are some of the original pews made by slaves.... more
