Experience a step back into time, entering through an 1812 house and continuing to the original building, where the original benches from the 1767 prayer society are still in use. Fine portraits by John Neagle and other colonial artists adorn the walls, and etchings of famous moments in Methodist history are also on display. Artifacts such as the original Love Feast cups and the saddlebag of an itinerant minister bring church history to life. An early classroom awaits pupils, its walls lined with early Bibles and hymnals. Learn about the cordwainer, shrub seller and coin engraver who were early trustees. Books on display include the handwritten journal of the first minister and many volumes printed at St. George's by the press that eventually became Cokesbury. Hear moving stories of early struggles with prejudice within the church, and stand in the sanctuary where a steady parade of ministers helped Methodists discover their faith.
