Park Street Church

Park Street Church was built in 1809, and was the site of the old town granary where grain was stored. Among many 'firsts' in this country, this is also the location of the first Sunday school program in 1816, the oldest radio ministry in 1923, as well as more recently, the start of the Animal Rescue League.

DID YOU KNOW? Park Street church's steeple rises to 217 feet and remains a landmark visible from several Boston neighborhoods. Also, the church became known as "Brimstone Corner," because of the storage of gunpowder during the War of 1812.
