The Pilgrim Baptist Church located at 732 Central Avenue West in Saint Paul in the U.S. state of Minnesota is the building that houses the first Black Baptist congregation in Saint Paul. The congregation was founded on November 15, 1866 by Reverend Robert Hickman and a group of escaped slaves from Boone County, Missouri. They were smuggled up the Mississippi River on the steamer "War Eagle" with the help of Union Soldiers and the Underground Railroad. The current building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places was built in 1928.cite book|title=The National Register of Historic Places in Minnesota|last=Nord|first=Mary Ann|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|date=2003|isbn=0-87351-448-3] [cite web| title = Pilgrim Baptist Church, a first for Black Minnesota!| publisher =The African American Registry| date =2005| url =http://www.aaregistry.com/african_american_history/2572/_Pilgrim_Baptist_Church_a_first_for_Black_Minnesota| accessdate = 2007-11-12]
