Walters Memorial AME Zion Church

Open to the Public

Walters African American Episcopal Zion Church has been located at this site since 1882. The new building was constructed on the foundation that survived the former structure’s destruction in 1951 due to fire.

The church is one of few remaining reminders of an earlier African American community known as “Little Liberia.” Made up of free blacks, migrants from the South, former enslaved and their descendants, this community supported two churches, a school, a hotel, and a number of individual homes. The Mary and Eliza Freeman houses nearby on Main Street are the only two remaining homes.
