Old Christ Church

"Great piece of local history! You can see the inside by joining the tour at the Historical Village. The story of the building is very interesting, and the building is clean and well-kept."

"This tour is a part of list given when you pay $10 to take tours in downtown Pensacola. The church is beautiful inside and out. The original building was built in 1832. It seems all the rectors died in short period of time. Will attach notes from your: Built 1832 reverend sunders first rector died of yellow fever 4 years later Rev Peak built Christ church school house. Died 3-4 years of tuberculosis Rev Scott died old. Left during civil war. Rev Flowers took his plane and died within 10 weeks yellow fever Church damaged during civil war started major renovations in 1879. Added wooden arches, extended church back 20 feet. 1903 most congregation lived in North Hills. Church abandoned till 1936 (1 decade) Lady came and fixed windows gave church to city. 1936 public library 1936. History museum. Deed given back to church. 500k historic landmark. A lot of weddings. Symphony and chorus. No longer a congregation. 1st 3 rectors are buried under floor boards. The graves are the only ones here. 2 out of 3 were found to be tampered by archeologist. If you enjoy historical churches I highly recommend visiting!"

"Entry to one of the select museums can get you access to 4 of them with additional tours to other historic locations. GREAT VIEWS. Our tour guide was AMAZING, very informative and friendly. After giving us the history and answering all of the questions, he allowed us to walk around the church!"

"Beautiful Church, the preservation of original architecture is awesome. We attended a family members wedding here in April. I was passing by last night after dinner and could not pass up the opportunity. I took this stunning photo of its “awesome glow” of significance and purpose. I just wanted to help it share it’s wonderful beauty."

"Beautiful historic church open for tours w the village and for event rentals. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She is a history major and was very in depth about the people and history of the church. Perfect building and lawn for weddings and there is a bridal cottage available."
