History. Educate yourself and those around you.
Four young girls were killed when a Ku Klux Klan bomb exploded in this church in 1963. The girls are remembered with a shrine in the crypt where they died, and a vibrant stained glass window donated in sympathy by the people of Wales adorns the historic church.

Wonderful tour!
Volunteers do a great job of sharing the history, importance, tragedy and beauty of this landmark. Learn the circumstances of the infamous bombing and see the beautiful sanctuary which is still in use. Elevator available.

Historic Site
Thought it was a good idea to go and visit this historic site. Didn’t know that you had to pay to go inside so I didn’t. The building is in great condition knowing it’s history. Maybe one day I’ll go back and pay to see the inside.
