The excavation of the First Baptist Church on Nassau Street continues to make progress in unearthing the story of the church’s early congregants and their worship experience.
This month, Colonial Williamsburg archaeologists launched a second, 18-month phase of excavation.
And more organizations are pitching in to fund the multi-year project, as well. First Baptist Church, the Let Freedom Ring Foundation and Colonial Williamsburg announced grant funding and individual gifts last week that support the Phase 2 research and site interpretation effort.
Colonial Williamsburg announced the receipt of a sum of nearly $3 million in philanthropic support.
