FERRISBURGH UNION MEETING HALL and FERRISBURGH HISTORICAL SOCIETY: OPEN HOUSE

Location: Ferrisburgh Center The Ferrisburgh Historical Society invites any and all curious souls to an Open House, Saturday May 12, from 12-4 PM at the Union Meeting Hall (a.k.a. Union Church). This lovely brick church, overlooking the maples of our own village green, was built in 1840 to serve five distinct congregations. The Methodists, Congregationalists, Baptists, Wesleyans, and Spiritualists, all shared in the Church's construction and its original use. In 1897, with the Congregationalists and the Methodists having built their own houses of worship, the "Union" dissolved and the Town purchased the building. Around that time, the maples in the green were planted to commemorate our Civil War veterans, and to this date, the only municipal plaques in honor of our veterans are mounted on the Hall's front. It's a lovely building, with an uplifting history. The Ferrisburgh Historical Society across the road will also be open.

Please, join us and take this rare opportunity to tour this oldest of our Town's assets.
