The Parksville AME Zion Church in Camden, NC, is a significant historical institution within the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, which traces its roots back to 1796. Renowned as the "freedom church," it played a pivotal role in assisting enslaved individuals seeking liberation and has been a home to prominent figures such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglass.

Following the Civil War, the A.M.E. Zion Church saw a surge in congregations across North Carolina, establishing itself as an essential religious community by the late nineteenth century. Today, it continues to connect people with the rich African American heritage and history of the region.
