of sign:
This
16- sided church, Richmond's first meeting house, was built by a
group led by William Rhodes in 1812-12 on land donated by
Isaac
Gleason & Thomas Whitcomb. The first Proprietors were
members of the five denominations: Baptist, Christian,
Congregational,
Methodist, & Universalist. Richmond Town Meetings were
held here for 160 years, until 1973, when it was
closed
due to structural problems and for restoration. Maintained by
the Richmond Historical Society, and staffed by volunteers, this
National
Historic Landmark is used for tours, meetings, ecumenical services,
weddings, and concerts.
