1707 Meeting House
This building's foundation contains the original stonework for a beloved place for residents to worship, vote, hold justice court and have community gatherings of all kinds.
This Meeting House was also the third Presbyterian Church originally located at the corner of Meeting House Lane and Main Street. It was purchased by the Methodists in 1843 and moved to its present site. After it ceased functioning as a church in 1883, it continued in use as a meeting hall, office building and finally as a gymnasium in 1910 under the ownership of Samuel L. Parrish. The upper wooden frame was destroyed in the 1920s.
Erected by Southampton Historical Museum and Brown Harris Stevens.
