CHESAPEAKE CITY -- As
evening arrived on a Monday in the middle of December, we paused
for a few minutes at the Bethel A.M.E. Church. The
historic Church is on the corner of 2nd and Pine streets in South
Chesapeake City. A
cornerstone from 1871 bears the letters A.M.E. Church on this Greek
Revival-style house of worship.
Later, Mary Sophia Bayard of Philadelphia leased the lot on the
northwest corner of Pine & 2nd Streets in June 1882 to the trustees of
Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church for a dollar a year, according
to land records. Also, an
African-American Schoolhouse across from the 19th century church is
located on Pine Street. Here's a link to the Bethel AME, Chesapeake City
