The original New Marlborough Meeting House was constructed in the early 1740s but within a few decades fell into disrepair. Around 1793, a subsequent “barn church’” was raised on the site, which in turn deteriorated by the early nineteen century. In the 1830s, noted architect Henry Sykes was hired to design and build what stands today, a prime example of American Greek revival architecture in the form of a New England meeting house.
Today the nearly two hundred year old Meeting House remains a sacred space vibrant with performances, speakers, community events, and a sense of place.
