Maybe I been unfair to the area but it is questionable part of town. Some much history. I have to take a moment and just take it in. The square across from it is very nice...but be careful.
Wonderful but I cannot enter cause it was closed. The building is great. I recommended and I will return
Another of Savannah's interesting sites, fabulous tour! Stayed in Savannah an extra night to be able to take the morning tour of the Church...Best decision we made! Attended the brief and informative lecture while seated on the pews in the main church foyer. Then went in to the basement and listened as our knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide told us more of the history of the church and its role in the time of slavery. Fascinating and well-worth our time!
The church is wonderful, but the stories and the history of those who built it, the underground railway, the early struggles….these are wonderful to hear during the tour. Very powerful. If you do no other tour, do this one!
We attended the Sunday service at 10:00 AM. What a warm greeting we received! A special experience to worship in the oldest Black church.
Great Service and very friendly people. This church is beautiful witha incredible flair for African American history.
Very interesting and informative tour. It was amazing to see what was accomplished/built by enslaved Africans during their "free time". The tour guides were friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our guide was over enthusiastic at some points. To update a previous review about this issue .....Our tour guide contacted us and was very open to suggestions and feedback . They are always looking for ways to improve the tourist's experience. A comment box would be nice.
The church is beautiful. However, my children and I were most excited and humbled to learn of the important part this Historic site played in the Underground Railroad. It was an honor to see the quilted map that hung in the lower level that was used to guide those on their road to freedom. One could even see the holes in the floor used as airways for the tunnel. Across the street still stands the building used to house the slaves waiting to be sold. It is a must see.
We visited and lucked out when we got to meet a docent who took us around on an impromptu private tour. She was beyond gracious and gave us a wealth of information.
WE visited this church and it was wonderful. The people made us feel right at home especially since we were not African Americans. It was a great service, good preaching and singing.
