On September 9th, 2023, the first in a series of meetings discussing the burial ground at the original site of the First Baptist Church was held. The meeting introduced concepts for marking and memorializing the ancestors buried at the Nassau Street site.
Colonial Williamsburg and the Let Freedom Ring Foundation are seeking input from the descendants of the Historic First Baptist Church of Williamsburg – Nassau Street, daughter churches, and granddaughter churches concerning how to proceed with commemorating the ancestors buried at the Nassau Street church site. A recording of the September 9th meeting of the descendants along with an outline of the burial ground presentation can be found below. We ask that you share this information with anyone who may be a descendant of the Historic First Baptist Church-Nassau Street.
Please join us for the next meeting of the descendants.
We are happy to come to you to provide additional information. If you would like to schedule an in-person or remote presentation, please reach out to Crystal Castleberry, Public Archaeologist, at ccastleber@cwf.org. Additional questions may be submitted using the Contact Us form below.
