Built in 1753 during the towns founding, the church remains at the center of a vibrant spiritual community today. The church bell was made by the same London foundry responsible for Big Ben and the Liberty Bell. Many wooden beams were reused from the first King's Chapel in Boston, Massachusetts. A significant fire took place in 2001, and the church was later re-opened in 2005.
St. John's Anglican Church was the first church established in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada (1753).
