Massachusetts churches -- not just in Boston

Trinity Episcopal Church, Boston, MA

Massachusetts, not surprisingly for a place that was founded by people who thought a lot about matters of religion and faith, has a lot of churches. Some of these churches have amazing history going back to colonial times; others began in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries. We found them interesting.

We did go to Plymouth, though we didn't happen by any churches.

These churches in the neighborhood of Central Park in Clinton were particularly impressive. First Baptist and First Congregational seem to have more than one congregation meeting in each of their buildings.

And one final church from Boston, for several reasons. Old North Church has history (remember Paul Revere and one if by land, two if by sea?), it's beautiful from the outside, and it's beautiful from the inside. Plus it was a welcome cool spot on a very warm summer day.

Can you see the lanterns in the steeple?

What did we miss?
