What a great walking tour full of history. Caches placed along the route to add to the enjoyment. Unfortunately the sightes are too close together for me to place a cache at each site so you will have to just fill in the gaps between caches with some sight seeing.
Macedonia A.M.E. Church
In 1811 the African Methodist Society, forerunner of the present Macedonia Church, was founded; it became the third religious organization in Flushing. In the same year, the members purchased a part of the Daniel Loweree farm on which a building would be erected for religious services. In 1837 the first church edifice was built on approximately the same location as that of the present church. In the years before the Civil War, members of the congregation and its pastor Edward Africanus were active in the early struggle for African-American civil rights. It is also believed that the church served as a station on the Underground Railroad
