Park Street Church is an important landmark in Boston, overlooking the Boston Common and Beacon Hill Statehouse. Established in 1809, it is one of the oldest churches in the United States and has played a prominent role in American history.
In 1816, the Park Street Church joined the Old South Church and formed the City Mission Society, which served Boston’s poor. The church was the site of many firsts, including the nation’s first Sunday school in 1818, the first prison aid in 1824, and William Lloyd Garrison’s first public statement against slavery in 1829. Park Street Church can be seen from the various surrounding neighborhoods because of its steeple, which rises 217 feet.
The church is open to visitors in the Summer and during mass on Sunday mornings and evenings. .
The church is wheelchair-accessible.
