SUMMARY:Rocky Hill Meeting House Tour
DESCRIPTION:Rocky Hill Meeting House is one of the best preserved examples of an original eighteenth-century meeting house interior. The fact that it has served no active congregation since the mid-nineteenth century led to its remarkable state of preservation. Eighteenth-century hardware remains intact throughout the building. The marbleized pulpit and pillars supporting the upper galleries still boast their original paint. \nTour involves standing\, walking\, and some stairs. Visitors with limited mobility may be able to enjoy a first floor tour of the meeting house and there is ample seating in the pews. Visitors can access a virtual tour from their own digital device onsite. The site is not equipped with ramps\, elevators\, or lifts and there is no air-conditioning. Service animals are welcome. We are happy to work with you to make your visit an enjoyable one and we encourage visitors with questions or requests to call ahead.
