The oldest African American church in the U.S. started here in 1794 (and is now at 6361 Lancaster Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19151, after moving around a bit). See Inga Saffron's column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, 11/13/16, at p. H18, the church's Website, and https://www.philadelphiabuildings.org/pab/app/ho_display.cfm/1163993. There is a real historic marker at this location. [On date of entry, Google Maps is way off as to the location of this site.]
