"This Meeting House was an outgrowth of the time when
Proprietors of the town were responsible for the encouragement of religion. It was built in 1796
when church and state were intertwined. Until 1819, regardless of denomination and belief, residents
were considered members of this parish and their tax money supported the minister. In 1839 the town
became owner of this edifice and the church society its tenant and this arrangement remains today.
This building of simple colonial architecture still embraces some of the religious and civil affairs
of this community and stands as a monument to pure democracy." erected 1980 Listed on the National Register in 1979. |
