The Historic Area of Philadelphia



Flat Stanley saw some of the very interesting things in the Colonial area of the city. He went to Saint Augustine's church which was once burned in the Nativist Riots of 1844 (people were fighting about immigration then, too).

Flat Stanley also saw St. George's Methodist Church--an historic church where the Freed Black leaders Richard Allen and Absalom Jones were once asked to sit in a separate area. They left in protest and started their own church.
