Visit the church, gift shop, and DO NOT MISS the "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" re-enactment on Sundays at 2 pm, if you are here. Stirring church interior and new, very gifted, insightful, and inspiring rector. Worth the effort to experience a service at St. John's and feel times zones merge in this riveting historical edifice.
