The west and middle rooms of the meeting house were built in 1726 to support the growing local Quaker population. In 1801, the east room was added to accommodate quarterly meetings held by Quakers from the surrounding region. Still active, meetings for worship are held at 10:30 each Sunday except the last Sunday of the month.  All are welcome!
