Christ Church Cambridge
Church
The oldest church building in Cambridge (1761). When British soldiers worshipped here before the Revolution, the congregation was largely Loyalist. After war began, Continental troops used the building as barracks. Martha Washington attended New Year's Eve services here in 1775, and the church was rededicated in 1790.
What Happened Here
The organ pipes were melted down for bullets during the war. The current pipe organ dates from restoration efforts.
