Quaker Meeting House, Historical Quaker meeting house in Adams, Massachusetts.
The rectangular wooden structure measures 28 feet by 36 feet, featuring separate entrances for men and women with basic wooden planking doors and shutters.
Built in 1782 by settlers from Smithfield, Rhode Island, the meeting house served the Quaker community continuously until 1842 due to population decline.
The interior space contains a movable partition to separate men and women during services, with benches and fireplaces on the women's side of both floors.
The building stands within Maple Street Cemetery, the first burial ground in Adams, and contains unmarked graves of early Quaker settlers from the 1760s.
Relatives of suffragette Susan B. Anthony rest in the adjacent cemetery, connecting this religious site to broader social reform movements in Massachusetts.
