Our current exhibit uncovers a crucial part of Nyack history never explored and presented collectively under a single roof. The history of four Black churches of different denominations: A.M.E. Zion, Baptists, Pentecostal, and Seventh-Day Adventists.

You’ll see their trajectories from small informal Bible-study groups to today’s solid edifices that make their congregations and the Nyack community proud.

One church’s first “home” was atop a carriage house in 1875; the Nyack community coalesced and supported a rebuild to address a property-line dispute of another; one church survived an Urban Renewal/eminent domain debacle and had to relocate; and
yet another began its long history with the financial assistance and benevolence of a white abolitionist. One church occupied space for a time next to the ‘Colored YMCA’ in Nyack!

If you appreciate history, especially the rarely unearthed variety, you must visit this exhibit. Open Saturdays 1-4pm, 50 Piermont Avenue, Suite 1A, Nyack, NY 10960.
