ZION UNION CHURCH

HYANNIS, MA

Zion Union Church is a historic African-American church located in Hyannis, Massachusetts. It was built in 1820 by the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, who had been founded in Philadelphia in 1816. The church was built to serve the growing African-American community in the area, which was made up of freed slaves and their descendants. The church was a central part of the community, providing education, spiritual guidance, and a place of fellowship for its members. The church building is a two-story structure with a gable roof and a cupola. It features a distinctive arched entrance, and the interior features a sanctuary with a gallery, a choir loft, and an organ.

The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 for its significance in African-American history. It is one of the oldest African-American churches in the state, and is a reminder of the struggles of African-Americans during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The church continues to be an important part of the community, providing a place of worship and a supportive environment for the African-American community of Hyannis.
