Since the founding of the Frying Pan Baptist Meeting House in 1783 African Americans, both free and enslaved, made up a significant portion of the church’s congregation. Though they worshipped with whites and were baptized with whites, they were not given the same rights and privileges as white members. This struggle within the church mirrored the same struggle of African Americans within Fairfax County for their rights and freedoms. A special guest speaker, historic interpreters and exhibits will add to the story of the Meeting House history.
The event is located at the Frying Pan Meeting House at 2615 Centreville Rd, Herndon, VA. Parking available at Frying Pan Farm Park. Take a free wagon ride shuttle from the Country Store to the Meeting House. Donations gratefully accepted.
