The Baptist Church on the Green
Revolutionary War Hospital & Burial Ground
The Baptist Church on the Green was dedicated in 1771. Its first pastor, the Rev. Reune Runyon was said to have been “an ardent patriot, brave and true”. Like the Presbyterian Church, this building was used as an army hospital in 1777-1778 and many soldiers were buried in its churchyard. Their remains were removed and are now reinterred at the Evergreen Cemetery.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of N Park Place and E Park Place, on the left when traveling west.
