Founded in 1695!
Christ Church was the church where many of our founding fathers/mothers worshiped.
Back in the day, families would financially reserve their pews. The closer to the front, the more expensive…#70 is the pew where Ben Franklin and his wife sat…
Pews 56-58, as shown in this box is where George Washington and John Adams sat with their families while they were President!
People are buried all through the church, inside and out. This is the plot of the founding clergy. It is front and center at the altar. After the church grounds were too full of burial plots, and additional burial ground was built two blocks away. The burial ground has Ben Franklin and some other notable people buried there.
This is the baptismal pool that was donated to the church. When it was in London, it was where William Penn (Pennsylvania is named after him), was baptized…
