Christ Church - colonial-era worship by Founding Figures

Christ Church, constructed in the mid-18th century, was the parish church attended by several leading colonial figures, including Benjamin Franklin and George Washington while they were in Philadelphia. The building and its records document its role as a spiritual and social center for Philadelphia's 18th-century elite, and many parishioners from the Revolutionary era are interred in the adjacent burial ground. The church remains an active congregation and a site interpreted for its connections to early American leaders.
