The site where Patrick Henry gave his famous "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech. It's the oldest church in the Richmond with an active congregation.

Not in Boston, Philadelphia, even Williamsburg, St. John's Church in Richmond was the site of Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775. The church, built in 1741, was the only site suitable at the time for the notable delegates assembled. It's also the namesake of the delightful neighborhood where John and Kristin lived for a while. George Wythe, Poe's mum, and other notables, including vets of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, are buried in the church cemetery.

At 2401 E. Broad St. in Church Hill, you'll find historic St. John's Church: home of Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" speech.
