Architectural History of the St. John's Campus - America 250 at St. John's Series at St. John's Episcopal Church
Explore how Worthington's oldest faith community shaped the town's landscape during this guided walking tour of St. John's Episcopal Church properties. You'll visit four connected buildings—the 1831 church, the 1927 parish house, the township hall, and the preschool—while learning how their architecture changed alongside the congregation's and city's evolving needs. This tour is part of a special series celebrating America's 250th birthday and highlighting the deep connection between St. John's and Worthington's founding story.
The event offers a chance to discover some meaningful local history with your family. St. John's Episcopal Church has sat at the heart of Worthington since 1803, when Episcopalian settlers first arrived. This one-hour walking tour brings that heritage to life by showing how buildings reflect community growth over two centuries. It's ideal for anyone curious about local history, architecture, or how Worthington developed into the town it is today.
