Pilgrim Baptist Church of Saint Paul celebrated 160 Years of service to the Community with a banquet and a church service.
Pilgrim Baptist Church was founded in 1863 and is the oldest African American Baptist church in the state of Minnesota.
The church was founded by escaped slaves who, with the help of the Underground Railroad, journeyed to Minnesota.
Pilgrim Baptist Church has been newly listed as the first Minnesota location on the National Park Service’s “National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom,” a directory of more than 700 notable sites where slaves seeking their freedom hid or found refuge.
The National Park Service listed the church, which was chartered in 1866 and moved from Cedar Street to Central Avenue in 1928, among 23 new sites added to the network in late September. See Article in St. Paul Pioneer Press
