These steps, located in Lower Town, can take visitors up to St. Peter's Church, the Harper House, and further on, Jefferson Rock. Visitors should be cautious as the steps are very steep.

The rocky, hard-carved stairs leading to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church predate the chuch (1830). The set of 44 steps were carved in 1810. Composed directly from the hillside, the steps are almost entirely shale.
