United First Parish Church
1306 Hancock Street (Basement)
Quincy, MA 02169
Take any red line train bound for Braintree (not Ashmont) or any commuter rail bound for Kingston or New Bedford/Fall River and exit at Quincy Center.
Exit the station using the Hancock Street exit.
Walk through the park and towards the fountains.
The large grey granite church with the gold dome is the United First Parish Church — the most prominent building in Quincy Center.
Go to the back of the church (the opposite end from the steeple). Near the traffic light at the back of the building, look for a set of basement stairs next to the sidewalk and street.
Important: There are two sets of basement stairs. The one on the park side near the entrance with the rainbow flag is the wrong one — go toward the traffic light!
