Churches in New Harbor is a self-guided tour of the historic places of worship clustered around Block Island's New Harbor district. The activity covers four active congregations, including the 1880s-era Harbor Church and the Roman Catholic St. Andrew's Chapel, each with distinct architectural styles. Visitors walk between sites on public roads, with exterior views available year-round and interior access during scheduled services or open-door hours.
What to expect
- A walking route of roughly 1.5 miles connects four churches within 30 to 45 minutes at a casual pace
- Each church provides a printed or posted historical placard detailing its construction date, original denomination, and notable renovations
- Interior visits are possible at the Harbor Church on Sunday mornings and at St. Andrew's Chapel during weekday afternoon open hours from June to September
- The tour includes the 1878 wooden Gothic Revival chapel and the 1902 shingle-style Methodist church, both listed on the Block Island Historic District
- Suitable for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts, with flat terrain and benches outside two of the churches for rest stops
- Photography of exteriors is unrestricted, and the route passes the New Harbor ferry landing, allowing combination with a harbour walk
