St. John's Church, the 'Church of the Presidents'

St. John's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square, has been used for centuries as a place of worship and ceremonial events attended by U.S. presidents and first families, earning it the informal nickname 'the Church of the Presidents.' The parish dates to the early 19th century and the current Gothic Revival building was completed in 1816. The church hosts regular services, concerts, and public events that engage both the local community and national visitors.
