The Athens Brick Meetinghouse is historically significant to the Windham County region, and particularly the twelve surrounding towns which comprised the "Old Athens Circuit" - Grafton, Rockingham, Townshend, Londonderry, Weston, Chester, Acton, Springfield, Landgrove, Windham, Putney and Mt. Holly. Circuit preachers from Athens, traveled out to these towns to perform religious services. Quarterly camp meetings with the Methodist congregants from these towns often lasted two days at the Athens Meetinghouse also known as the "Mother Church."
Donations made to the Athens Historic Preservation Society are fully tax deductible and will support ongoing efforts to preserve this national historic landmark.
