Walters AME Zion Church - African American Historic Places (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Site #2 on Connecticut Freedom Trail
About: Walters African American Episcopal Zion Church has been located at this site since 1882. When its original structure was destroyed by fire in 1951, the current building was erected on the surviving foundation. The building is one of few remaining reminders of an earlier African American community known as "Little Liberia." Made up of free blacks, former slaves and their descendants, and migrants from the South, this community supported two churches, a school, and a number of individual homes. The two Freeman houses are the only remaining homes.
