Mount Bethel Meeting House

Built in 1761, the Mount Bethel Baptist Meeting House was moved in 1785 to its present location. Revolutionary war maps show the previous location on the slope of the second mountain near Washington Rock.

It was used as a religious institution until the congregation moved to its new church in 1960. The post and beam frame structure has gunstock posts at the front and rear walls. Handcrafted pews and wall panels show evidence of hand planed surfaces.
