About the building

Built in 1806 by Boston’s free Black community, the African Meeting House was a church, school and gathering place for abolitionists. WMF’s Irreplaceable America initiative identifies renewed needs for building restoration and interpretation at the site now cared for by the Museum of African American History.

The project

Building restoration and interpretation support; obtain a current restoration scope from the museum before earmarking a gift.

Sources

The museum accepts general donations, but no separate building-specific appeal or public volunteering programme was verified. This is not a redundant church offered for purchase.
