ORGANIZED IN THE GREAT HALL OF THE
FORT – 1646: The first meetinghouse, built about 1647, was probably a
frame building with riven clapboards, located on the north side of
Middle Lane, with the parsonage just west of it. The second
meetinghouse, a frame building, stood “near about the place of the old
one”. Its construction was authorized at a town meeting held
January 17, 1679, and it was ready for occupancy in 1681. One of its
windows, a casement leaded sash with imported English glass, is on
exhibit in the treasure cabinets in our present building. The third
meetinghouse was erected in 1726, on the Church Green. The Green is
directly opposite our present buildings.
Our present, fourth,
meetinghouse was dedicated January 5, 1840 and was extensively renovated
in 1977.
