St John's Church

Built in 1728, the Episcopalian church houses the nation's oldest English speaking parish which was founded in 1610. Its most precious relic is the Communion silver that dates from 1618. The stained-glass window depicting the baptism of Pocahontas was donated by Indian students at Hampton University. The parish museum contains artifacts from previous sites, including a 1599 Bible and a 1632 prayer book. Call for hours of operation. Free to the public.
