I grew up with this church as a part of my life since my grandfather was the sexton here. When I returned this past summer for a tour for the first time in something like thirty years, it was just as I remembered it (except it wasn't Grandpa conducting the tour!). The interior is beautiful, simple New England colonial architecture,... More

And the Reverand seated me in what could very well be the most famous pew in the entire church. The interior is picture perfect. The craftsmanship has stood the test of... More
