PAUL WAINWRIGHT - Colonial Meetinghouses and their role in the community
Location: Ferrisburgh Town Offices and Community Center
New England's colonial meetinghouses embody an important yet little-known chapter in American history. Built mostly with tax money, they served as both places of worship and places for town meetings, and were the centers of life in colonial New England communities. Using photographs of the few surviving "mint condition" meetinghouses as illustrations, this presentation by photographer Paul Wainwright tells the story of the society that built and used them, and the lasting impact they have had on American culture.
Paul Wainwright holds a PhD in physics from Yale, and his book, A Space for Faith: The Colonial Meetinghouses of New England, was published in 2010. All are welcome. Free. For more info call Silas at 425-3380
