The Gothic-styled Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church is home to Rutherford County’s oldest African American Methodist congregation. Freed men and women established the church in 1866. In 1889, congregants built this gable-front brick sanctuary here in the heart of one of Murfreesboro’s historic African American neighborhoods.
