Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Goodwin Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church dates back to the early 19th century when African American families hosted services in their homes. In 1868, the congregation began meeting at a chapel at Amherst College. The black members of the congregation formed their own independent church in 1907 and built this chapel three years later.
