First Parish in Cambridge

Church

The congregation dates to 1636, making it one of the oldest in the United States. The current building (1833) is not Revolutionary-era, but the congregation played an active role in the independence movement. The meetinghouse that stood during the Revolution was used for town meetings that debated colonial resistance.
