Nation to Keep Colonial Church As Press Shrine
Mount Vernon St Pauls Church in Eastchester, a colonial building linked to press freedom, will become a national historic site. Secretary Ickes announced the plan, noting the church’s 18th century English parish roots and its 1942 dedication as a shrine to freedom of the press and the Bill of Rights. The National Park Service will aid in preservation while ownership stays with the church corporation. The site recalls 1783 actions against John Peter Zenger and his landmark acquittal, seen as a cornerstone of press freedom.
