Interesting Facts:
The first meetings of the congregation were held in barns or private homes. In October 1778 it was voted at Town Meeting that a 30 ft. by 40 ft. log building be constructed on what is now Garey Road to be used as a meeting house. During the next few years the building became crowded enough for people to want a new building closer to the center of Town
