Park Street Church

The Park Street Churches location at the intersection of Park and Tremont Street became known as "Brimstone Corner" for both the fiery preaching of the church and the gunpowder stored on-site during the War of 1812. The church's greatest legacy, however, is one of human rights and social justice. The congregation has been a center for women's suffrage, prison reform and abolition. The church hosted an anti-slavery lecture series as early as 1823. The Park Street Church is a site on the Freedom Trail.
