What to See, How to Plan & Tours- Religious Beliefs
- 5 Reviews
St. John's Maroon Church, located in Freetown's Maroon Town district, is a historic Methodist church built in 1822 by Jamaican Maroons. These Maroons were deported from Nova Scotia in 1800 and sought their own place of worship, led by Charles Shaw. The church's white-walled structure symbolizes the Maroons' transition from African beliefs to Christianity, while preserving their distinct Methodist practices until 1900. Declared a national heritage site in 1956, it is one of Sierra Leone's oldest churches, commemorating its 200th anniversary in 2007.

There is a very great experience to learn about the maroons and where they inhabited and to build this church as a Reston plates I will surely visited again and contribute to the upkeep because it’s a part of a rich African history

Historical building in the heart of the city of Freetown. The Maroon's were freed slaves from Nova Scotia and the West Indies sent to Freetown, Sierra Leone
