Site #29 on Freedom Trail in Auburn and Cayuga County
About: The first AME Zion Church in Auburn was built on Washington Street, just north of Genesee, in 1838. After the Civil War, when Auburn’s African American population expanded near Harriet Tubman’s home, the AME Zion Church built a new structure here at 49 Parker Street. Named after Henry Thompson, first local AME Zion bishop and himself a freedom seeker, this church was dedicated in 1891.
