Myrtle Baptist Church (Newton, Massachusetts)

USA / Massachusetts / Newton / Newton, Massachusetts / Curve Street, 21
Myrtle’s Rich History…Myrtle was established October 1874 by freed men and sons of former slaves who settled in West Newton. The church, which evolved from within this community, became its first Black church thus empowering the members to fulfill a desire to worship God in their own tradition. Today that tradition, over 130 years old still lives on with members coming from within a 175-mile radius of the church.
