Capital Community College sits adjacent to the original location of the church where Reverend Pennington served as pastor. The Pennington Lecture is a collaboration between Capital Community College, the Amistad Center for Arts and Culture, and the Wadsworth Atheneum. The event takes place at the Wadsworth Lecture Hall.
