Still River Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Harvard, Massachusetts, US
Still River Baptist Church is a Gothic Revival church building on Still River Road with a well-preserved steeple. Inside are a historic baptismal font and an organ from the 1870s, both examples of craftsmanship from that era.
The Baptist congregation was founded in 1776 and initially used a building moved from Leominster. After a fire in 1910, the current church building was constructed.
The Harvard Historical Society uses this space to present exhibitions and organize events that help visitors understand the local past. The rooms tell the community's story through their arrangement and contents.
The building is a museum and community space operated by the Harvard Historical Society and is open most days. Visitors should check opening times in advance and be prepared for occasional access limitations.
The church houses a handcrafted baptismal font that was originally part of the stage structure. This placement of a sacred object within the stage area reflects an unusual approach to church design from that period.
