| Description: | St. John's is an active Episcopal Church, the oldest portion of which was built in 1741. It became famous when over 100 Virginia colonial leaders, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry met here in the spring of 1775. Patrick Henry's famous speech in defense of liberty occurred on March 23, 1775 inside the Church. Historic tours by our knowledable, costumed staff are offered daily. The tour includes a synopsis of the history of Richmond, highlights of the graveyard, a tour of the inside of the church and a description of the vigorous debate of the Second Virginia Convention culminating in P. Henry's famous speech. Today the building features Lamb and Booth stained glass windows and a lovely, painted pipe organ. St. John's Church invites visitors to Sunday services at 8:30 and 11:00. |
