5 Star Places To Visit in Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States (4)

1. 5.0 Old South Presbyterian Church (23 reviews)
   - Amazing historic tour
   Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   I originally went there to pay my respects to my six times great grandfather Joseph Prince (the blind preacher) who is buried in the crypt along with his lifelong friends George Whitefield and Reverend Parsons. The tour was absolutely amazing. We learned so much about Whitefield and his ministry. Our tour guide Jerry did such a great job and was so informative and knowledgeable and did such a great job. We all agreed it was one of the best tours we had ever been on. I highly recommend anyone traveling to New England add this tour to their list. See more..
   
2. 5.0 Newburyport Art Association (2 reviews)
   - A "must visit" stop on our trips to Newburyport
   Tuesday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Art Galleries
   
   
   Smaller, but every bit as important as the Rockport (MA) Art Association to us. Rotating "Featured Artist" exhibits are always interesting. Most of the works are extremely affordable to purchase, and the gift shop features many small pieces of original art (we usually buy at least one thing each time we visit), as well as items geared toward children (books, etc). The building, itself, is pretty, too. See more..
   
3. 5.0 First Religious Society Unitarian Universalist (1 review)
   - CHURCH WITH STRIKING FEDERAL STYLE ARCHITECTURE
   Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   Heading down Pleasant Street, I came to the church of the First Religious Society Unitarian Universalist. It was a fine example of Federal architecture from the perfect symmetry and decorative moldings above the tops of the front doors to the fanlight windows above the front door and tall narrow double-hung windows as well as up on the tower. The decorative column-like moldings on the front of the building and the pinnacles on the tower add more to style. The bracketing on the rooflines adds to the building’s attractiveness besides providing reinforced support for the roof, tower, and steeple. That’s another feature I like seeing on historic buildings. What I liked best about this building was all the detailed carpentry on the two stages of the tower just below the steeple. Great workmanship! The congregation was founded in 1725. The church was built in 1801. The parish hall was built in 1873 in a style consistent with the church. Like many other buildings in Newburyport, this church is on the National Register of Historic Places. The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews. If you found this review useful, please click HELPFUL. See more..
