“Preserving Sacred Spaces: A Tour of the Historical Nicholsonboro Baptist Church”

Join the City of Savannah Municipal Archives and The Friends of Historical Nicholsonboro Baptist Church, Inc. (www.myfriendshnbc.org) for a special tour of one of our city's national historic landmarks. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the church was recently recognized by the Historic Savannah Foundation as one of Savannah’s “endangered African American landmarks.” Experience the authenticity of the 1870 Praise House and 1890 Sanctuary; learn about the rich history of Historical Nicholsonboro Baptist Church (established 1850), and the descendant White Bluff/Coffee Bluff community and its Gullah Geechee heritage. The tour will be led by Kathy Thomas, Executive Director of The Friends of Historical Nicholsonboro Baptist Church, Inc.
