New England Quaker Meetinghouses, Past and Present

Those interested in religion, genealogy, architecture, or local history will revel in this thoroughly researched celebration of 138 Quaker meetinghouses throughout New England. Packed with photos and organised by state, it contains information about each building's location, architect, size, cost, and current use. The histories of the houses are described, and each entry indicates whether the meetinghouse has a burial ground. Also included are fascinating stories of fires and feuds, information about prominent members of each, and glimpses of New England humour. Maps, directions, a glossary, and indexes of Quaker family names and meetinghouses by architectural style make this not just a beautiful but an educational and practical reference.
