Apponegansett Meeting House
Apponegansett Meeting House, Historic Quaker meeting house in Dartmouth, United States.
The Apponegansett Meeting House features a two-story wood frame structure with a gable roof, wooden shingle siding, and a rubblestone foundation on 14 acres.
Built in 1791 for £300, this meeting house replaced an earlier structure from 1699 and became the oldest Quaker assembly building in southeastern Massachusetts.
One thousand Quakers gathered at this location during the 1790s, establishing a strong religious presence that influenced the development of Dartmouth's community.
Located on Russells Mills Road, the meeting house maintains regular summer services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its historical grounds and cemetery.
The building appeared in the 1922 film 'Down to the Sea in Ships' and contains a cemetery used continuously by the Quaker congregation since 1699.
