Over 20 years ago I moved to the North Shore of Massachusetts, and at the time, I knew a little bit about George Whitefield, his contributions to American History, and his connection to Old South Presbyterian Church in Newburyport. However, for whatever reason I kept putting off visiting and eventhough I knew the church welcomed tours.
Recently a friend of mine wrote a book that included a chapter on Whitefield (Turning Points in American Church History by Elesha Coffman) and this finally inspired me to reach out to the church and see if I could finally visit.
How glad I am that I did!
What a wonderful experience from the first time I emailed with my inquiry. The church staff was flexible in scheduling and as warm as you want a place of worship to be.
When I showed up for my tour, Jerry (an absolute gem of a human being), greeted me and I knew that I would be in for a treat. His love of his church's history is contagious and his knowledge is impressive. He welcomed questions and was ready with an insightful answer.
Jerry connected Whitefield to larger historical narratives and I really enjoyed how he described what religious life was like at the time leading up to the American revolution.
For people who don't really care about American History, the tour has lots of excitement - going up the steeple is an adventure, seeing and hearing a Paul Revere bell and taking in amazing views of Newburyport is a memory I will not soon forget!
What a treat this tour is. Please visit and tell Jerry I said hello!

It was a wonderful memorable experience to visit and know so many details through the official tour. Mr Jerry gave us a detailed tour and made it more interesting and memorable. I would highly recommend learning more about George Whitefield and the ministry through the official tour.

Fantastic time touring and learning some fascinating history from our enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide Jerry. We were even able to climb the bell tower to watch the Paul Revere bell ring! Amazing view of Newburyport and out to the Atlantic Ocean. This stop was well worth the time and small suggested donation.

Our tour guide, Jerry, was amazing. He had documentation for what he was explaining about the history of the church and was obviously excited about it. Great tour and well worth your time!

I originally went there to pay my respects to my six times great grandfather Joseph Prince (the blind preacher) who is buried in the crypt along with his lifelong friends George Whitefield and Reverend Parsons. The tour was absolutely amazing. We learned so much about Whitefield and his ministry. Our tour guide Jerry did such a great job and was so informative and knowledgeable and did such a great job. We all agreed it was one of the best tours we had ever been on. I highly recommend anyone traveling to New England add this tour to their list.

This church offers a tour packed with information about George Whitfield, the founder of the church. You will also see and hear much that reveals what church was like in early America. Our guide had researched the life of Whitfield and the conditions in earlier times. It is refreshing to find a church that values its founding.

This is a review of the tour of the building (since I have not attended Sunday services there I cannot comment on them).
The historical tour with Jerry was a true treat. We came because we had an interest in seeing the place where the famous preacher George Whitfield was buried, but the tour exceeded our expectation. We were able to learn about the building, Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere, and (of course) George Whitfield (be sure to ask about the man who stole Whitfield's arm!).
