Sandwich First Baptist Church

The brick church features a gabled roof, pointed windows, arched entrance doors, and a two-story crenellated tower added in 1920.

Built in 1851 by former slaves who made bricks from local clay, the church served as a crucial destination point on the Underground Railroad network.

The congregation, established in 1840 by eleven escaped slaves, represents the oldest active Black church organization in Canada.

The church welcomes visitors at 3652 Peter Street in Windsor, with services held on Sundays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Tuesdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Members of the original congregation manufactured bricks by hand using clay from the Detroit River banks and fired them in a self-made kiln.
