More history in our neighborhood! -This Church sits on the original site of Fort Cumberland (1754). -The Fort was the military and economic center during the French and Indian War. -Tunnels beneath the church are all that remains of Fort Cumberland. -The tunnels originally served to store perishable food and gunpowder and to give safe passage for British soldiers to reach their defenses along Will's Creek. 100 years later, the same tunnels served to help escaping slaves reach the church to get them to the Underground Railroad Station. -Tours of the tunnels as well as the Church (including original Louis Tiffany stain glass windows) can be arranged on the Church's website

This is a gorgeous antebellum church built on the former site of General Braddock's Fort Cumberland (important in the French-Indian War and later Washington's rallying point for the Whiskey rebellion). The church utilized the forts under ground tunnels to create an important stop on the underground railroad.
