"I did not state I hated the place, but computer misstated my ratings. This is a great place and was built in 1737. Am on the board and hope people treat the grounds and graveyard respectfully when they visit. Is a wonderful historic site."
"Very nice old friends meeting house with oldest marked burial 1724"
"It's a nice place it's where my parents and grandparents are buried. Nice grave site"
"I work with a crew that restores historical structures (Consolidated Restorations). My photos will show how a brand new country (United States of America), in the late1700's, worshipped the LORD and convened (one nation under GOD), for important town meetings. You'll notice candlestick holder's below the balcony handrails that were used for light, before they had electric."
"Clean restroom. Fast, efficient checkout of a tour bus full of rowdy men. Great job!"
