    King's Chapel History Program

    Dive deeper into King's Chapel's 334 year history on the History Program blog.

    Currently welcoming over 260,000 visitors to the historic sanctuary annually, The King's Chapel History Program is excited to share the site's history more in depth and to a wider audience through this outlet.

    The blog name is derived from longtime King's Chapel member Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.'s 1884 poem "At the Saturday Club," where he describes King's Chapel as "that towered and pillared building."
