Plymouth Church Of The Pilgrims

75 Hicks St

This church dates from the mid-1800's, and in the time since has become a bona fide historic landmark. The church's first pastor, the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Uncle Tom's Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe), was an abolitionist and allowed the church to be used as a part of the Underground Railroad, through which slaves were given safe passage to the free states of the North. The building itself is a reserved—but beautiful—structure, covered in ivy and sporting the requisite stained class depictions of scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Tours are available from 10am-4pm from Monday through Friday.
