"It was a wonderful tour by historian that helped us understand not just the church but also the ties to the many things that were going on with the Virginia, Boston and English to give the best insite into how special this place is to the early development of our country. It was perfect."
"Terrific presentation by a knowledgeable docent. The church itself is beautiful and historic."
"So beautiful. What an honor to be able to walk the grounds of a landmark so rich in history. It was this very spot where it was decided that the fight for American freedom from Britain would be worth the sacrifice to fight back. That's patriotism! If you're offended by American pride, then you likely don't know enough about American history."
"Such a beautiful, historical site to visit. This is where Patrick Henry gave his famous, "Give me liberty, or give me death," speech. Edgard Allen Poe's mother is buried here, too."
"Revolutionary history comes alive where critical decisions led to a new nation. Much to see on the grounds, and the gracious and knowledgeable staff will make your visit special. Our tour guide delivered a spirited rendition of Patrick Henry's speech that led Virginia to throw its weight behind the fight for independence. "Give me liberty or give me death!""
