Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse
Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse, Historic Quaker church at Washington and Schoosett Streets, Pembroke, Massachusetts.
The Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse features a Federal architectural design with wood construction and contains both original 1706 elements and nineteenth-century modifications.
Built by Robert Barker in 1706, this meetinghouse remained active for Quaker gatherings until 1876, when members transferred to Sandwich or New Bedford locations.
The structure represents early American Quaker heritage as the oldest meetinghouse in Massachusetts and the third oldest in the United States.
The Pembroke Historical Society maintains the building and allows local Quaker groups to use the space for summer worship gatherings in July and August.
Edward Wanton, a former sheriff who witnessed Quaker executions, converted to Quakerism and guided the construction of this meetinghouse.
