Claquato Church, Methodist church in Claquato, Washington, United States
Claquato Church is a church building in Washington featuring a louvered bell tower and a bell from 1857. The construction follows mid-nineteenth century New England meeting house design with its wooden frame and simple lines.
Construction began in 1857 as a Presbyterian house of worship before the congregation converted to Methodism in 1858. This shift in faith reflects changes in the early community's religious life during the settlement period.
The church displays simple Protestant design principles with straightforward lines and functional elements from the mid-1800s. The layout shows how communities gathered for worship and held their meetings in this era.
The cemetery next to the church is open and accessible for visitors to explore on foot. You can walk around the grounds and examine the gravesites and historic landscape at your own pace.
In the church cemetery stands a Douglas fir known as the Pioneer Fir that once guided early settlers navigating the area. The tall tree remains visible today and connects visitors to the settlement period of the region.
