Guelph Black Heritage Society

Guelph Black Heritage Society The Guelph BME (British Methodist Episcopal) Church has stood at 83 Essex Street since 1880.

The Guelph BME was built by former fugitive slaves who arrived in the area via the Underground Railroad. The Guelph Black Heritage Society (GBHS) was formed after the BME Church was listed for sale in November 2011. The purpose of the GBHS is to preserve the historical significance of the BME Church by creating a cultural, historical and social centre within Guelph and Wellington County. The GBHS’s offer to purchase the BME Church was accepted and the sale was finalized in December 2012.
