First Parish Church, Unitarian-Universalist

300 years ago, people thought that Congress Street was way out in the country. They built a wooden meeting house here in 1740 and called it, "Old Jerusalem." When the parish decided to build this new church out of stone, they saved the old weathervane and put it one top of the steeple. You can still see it, waving in the wind. Inside the church there is a cannonball from Mowatt's invasion!
