Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker religious center in New Jersey, United States.
The Friends Meetinghouse features simple wooden benches arranged in rows with separate sections for men and women divided by a movable partition.
The National Register of Historic Places incorporated this meetinghouse due to its role in preserving early American religious architectural design and traditions.
The interior lacks decorative elements, reflecting Quaker principles of simplicity and direct spiritual connection without intermediary symbols or ornaments.
Visitors can access guided tours of the meetinghouse during scheduled hours, learning about Quaker traditions and historical worship practices.
During winter gatherings, members used heated soap stones placed near their feet to maintain warmth throughout extended periods of silent worship.
