The distinctive history and architecture of Plymouth Church make the church a popular tour site. Nearly 4,000 adults and schoolchildren tour Plymouth each year.
|
Tour guides invite our visitors to explore such topics as:
- The antislavery movement and the Underground Railroad: History comes alive for children, as they sit in the pew where Abraham Lincoln once sat, hold in their hands a ring given to the slave child Pinky when her freedom was purchased by the congregation, and visit the basement to imagine how fugitive slaves made their escape to freedom.
- 19th century cultural and religious history, including the spread of Congregationalism across America
- Church architecture and the urban design of Brooklyn Heights
- The stained glass art of Plymouth Church
Tours are available by appointment Monday through Friday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and on Sundays after morning worship without an appointment. Please email Lois Rosebrooks, Director of History Ministry Services, or contact her by phone at 718-624-4743 to make an appointment.
