Sugar Grove Meetinghouse and Cemetery, Quaker meeting house and cemetery in Indiana, United States

Sugar Grove Meetinghouse and Cemetery is a one-story rectangular brick Quaker meeting house in Guilford Township, Hendricks County, Indiana, built in 1870 and enlarged in the late 1870s or early 1880s. A gable roof tops the building, and a covered porch links it to a contributing school house, privy and storage shed. The cemetery holds burials from the 1840s to the 1960s.

The meetinghouse was built by Quakers in 1870 and expanded a few years later in the late 1870s or early 1880s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, and the cemetery has served as a burial ground for community members since the 1840s.

The meetinghouse was used occasionally by a local Quaker group as of 2013, after restoration without modern plumbing, lights or air conditioning. The partition between the two equal rooms has wooden panels that open or close, letting the congregation gather as one or sit separately.

The meetinghouse stands in Guilford Township, Hendricks County, with a contributing schoolhouse, privy and storage shed on the grounds. As of 2013 the restored interior had no modern plumbing, lights or air conditioning, so plan a daytime visit. A local Quaker group used the building only occasionally, so check local listings before travelling.

The building has two interior rooms of equal size separated by movable wooden panels that allowed Quakers to separate men and women during meetings while opening the walls when needed for larger gatherings. This unusual layout shows how the community balanced their spiritual practices with flexibility in coming together.
