On April 10th at 4:30 p.m., an online lecture (via Zoom) is planned to host "Olden Day," recollecting the history of the church when it was founded in 1794. The last "Olden Day" was held at the church in 1994 when the church celebrated its congregations' bicentennial.
Documents from church founders have been discovered in the archives of the Peacham Historical Association, some of which predate the formal founding of the church. These also include letters from the first settled pastor, Rev. Leonard Worchester.
"We are bringing the past to life and highlighting what times were like in Peacham in the late 18th century. In 1794, Peacham was in the "wilderness" so to speak and our journey as a church began with 12 pioneer men and women. We are excited to discover the original church charter survives, handwritten and signed in 1794," said Dunbar.
Olden Day is one of several celebrations being held throughout 2021. Here is the link to the press release:
