King's Chapel was organized as an Anglican congregation at a meeting in Boston's Town House, the city hall of the day, on June 15, 1686.

As one of the sixteen historic landmarks along Boston’s Freedom Trail, King’s Chapel is an important part of a collective. Yet the historic church also stands alone with history unique to its own site. The history of King’s Chapel spans more than 330 years, from its founding in 1686; through the American Revolution and the birth of a new nation; through great periods of change, both difficult and triumphant; to its continued presence in 21st-century Boston. 
The King’s Chapel History Program researches, preserves, interprets, and shares stories about the church’s past, with a focus on how justice, tolerance, and religion have influenced these stories. Although the historic site is open to visitors, there are always opportunities to engage with its history remotely, right here.
