Ask Us Anything, Part 2

During this informal Q&A, these panelists answered questions about this national historic site, its early congregants, and the surrounding neighborhood:

  • Rev. Dr. Kim-Eric Williams – Curator, archivist, historian

  • Jim Murphy – Author, researcher, tour guide

  • Michael Schreiber – Author, historian, journalist

  • Amy Grant – Researcher, writer, mapmaker

We discussed William Penn's relationship with the Swedes, how the neighborhood of Queen Village really got its name, what was happening at Gloria Dei Church in the years leading up to the American Revolution and whether or not there are graves buried under I-95.
