TO my great disappointment, this church was closed to tourists because of COVID. It was truly o e of the highlights of my last trip. So much history in this church, particularly regarding underground railroad. It is a “must see” whenever church reopens for tourists.

I happened across this church as I was walking Savannah and caught a woman waiting for a tour group who was willing to let me peek in and ask her questions. Beautiful church, built in stages and well maintained. I was glad to see it not shuttered yet!
