Built in 1849–52 by the 2nd Presbyterian congregation and sold in 1889 to the 2nd Baptist Church, this Greek Revival church is one of Indiana’s outstanding church buildings. Its clock was a landmark for river pilots, and its organ, now a museum piece, was built in Holland about 1820. During the Civil War, it was an open secret that the church served as a station in the Underground Railroad, and the small openings and rooms in the dirt-floor basement remain as they were when fugitive slaves hid there in safety during their journey north.
