History of the Pilgrim Congregational Church
Pilgrim Congregational Church of North Lawrence, Kansas was organized in 1865 by Reverend J. Franklin Morgan of Boston, Massachusetts. Its building, erected in 1866, was the first church north of the river in Lawrence, and was located at the corner of 3rd and Elm Streets.
After the Kaw River flood of 1903, during which most of the church's records were lost, the church began faltering financially. Many of its parishioners lost everything in the flood and could not support a full-time minister. The church's last services were held in December 1910. By early 1912, Pilgrim Congregational's membership agreed to merge with Plymouth Congregational Church's membership.
