This Savannah icon leaves an indelible impression on all who visit. Dating back to 1774, the First African Baptist Church is much more than an active place of worship for many Savannah citizens, it provides a journey through the rich past of the African Americans who lived in Georgia and surrounding areas. Tours are offered Tuesday through Saturday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and on Sunday at 1 p.m.
