Circa. 1848: OLDEST AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONGREGATION IN ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK
A.M.E. Zion Church of Kingston on Franklin Street was founded by freed Africans in 1848. The church was constructed in 1863 at the current site on 26 Franklin Street in Kingston. The church has been an integral part of Ulster County's African-American community, our history, and is still home congregation to descendants. In the tradition of our faith, we welcome all of the faithful to worship with us!
