A companion to the African American Gothic Event at Antioch Church

Enjoy a guided tour of the historic district of Freedmen's Town to see original structures that include homes, churches, and the brick streets paved by its emancipated leaders.

An additional highlight will be a visit to Bethel Church Park, a sacred space built in Gothic style that once served as a church for the community. Following a devastating fire, it is now a place of special memory.

Reception of creole cuisine and a tour of the Gregory School follow the walking tour.  Limited to 40 participants.
