Rockingham Meeting House

The Rockingham Meeting House is Vermont's finest example of an early public building. This building, replacing an earlier public meeting house, was started in 1787 or 1788 but not completed until 1801. The structure, which served for both religious and civil meetings, is located on a hillside overlooking the Williams River valley. At the time of its construction there was no concentration of population within the town of Rockingham and a site near the geographical center of the town was chosen for the Meeting House Lot. Although there are no original plans for the Meeting House, Rockingham Town Records show that by 1799, £189/0/7 had been expended for the building; the structure still had to be painted and the windows glazed.
