St. Peter’s Church
St. Peter’s Church opened in 1761 and is still active. “Most of the church remains as it was in the eighteenth century. Scottish architect/builder William Smith designed it in the mid-Georgian auditory style, with the classical lines and clear glass windows of the Age of Enlightenment.” (https://www.stpetersphila.org/about-st-peters/history/)
On the southeast side of the churchyard can be seen four Osage orange trees —thought to be grown from seeds and cuttings collected by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They are close to the graves of two men who were key to preserving the legacy of the Expedition: Charles Willson Peale and Nicholas Biddle .
Tours are available by request.
