Star Hill AME Church, African Methodist Episcopal church near Camden, United States
Star Hill AME Church is a one-story frame church building in Vernacular Gothic Revival style with three bays and a gable roof. The structure sits on approximately 1.6 acres of land along the Delaware Bayshore Byway.
The congregation purchased land in 1866 and established a church that played an important role during the Underground Railroad era. The building became a refuge for people seeking freedom.
The church hosts exhibits that tell stories of African American communities in the region and their importance to local society.
The site is accessible via the Delaware Bayshore Byway and offers parking on the property. Visitors should check ahead to learn when exhibitions and tours are available.
The name refers to the North Star, which served as a guide for those escaping slavery during the night. This symbol of hope and direction remains woven into the place's story today.
