This church was organized in 1850 by the Union Religious Society.
No one denomination could gather enough support to build a place of
worship alone, so they joined together and built this building in the same year.
The Sundays were divided between the Freewill Baptists, Methodists and
Congregationalists.
Original shareholders paid $25 each to build the church.
When completed the pews were auctioned off—most bringing $6, but some
going for as little as 1 cent.
The building was extensively renovated in 1892 and the kerosene
chandelier was installed in 1894.
The horse sheds were added to the rear in 1903.
In 1938 the hand-pumped pipe organ was installed as a gift from the Bakie
brothers of Kingston, NH.
The pipe organ is listed in the Register of Antique Organs.
