Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Old Time, Meeting Houses of the Connecticut Valley The white meeting houses of the Connecticut Valley were familiar objects to the writer of this book in his boyhood, and, wherever he has gone since, he has carried with him a mental picture of these fine old houses of worship. Upon his return to the region three years ago for ministerial service, he conceived the idea of perpetuating by pen and picture some of the best examples of these structures. The difficulty of deciding what examples to include and what to exclude in the treatment of his subject has been almost as great as that experienced by some of the first settlements in setting a stake for the meeting house lot. The governing principle has been the illustration of the churches built between 1780 and 1850. A few houses of worship built in the earlier periods of the history of the region are included, and the pen sketches are meant to tell the story of meeting house building in the Connecticut Valley from the beginning down to the erection of the latest examples of Colonial buildings. Many worthy examples have been omitted, and a few houses of worship have been included whose architectural value is small, but which for other reasons the author has been pleased to use in the illustration of his subject. It will be seen that almost every variety of meeting house known to the Connecticut Valley prior to 1850 is represented in the following pages. The homes of the men and women by whom the houses of worship illustrated in this book were built are rapidly being occupied by people of other races and other ideas.

Download or read book Forgotten Voices written by Carolyn Wakeman and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inclusive early history of an iconic New England church The history inscribed in New England's meetinghouses waits to be told. There, colonists gathered for required worship on the Sabbath, for town meetings, and for court hearings. There, ministers and local officials, many of them slave owners, spoke about salvation, liberty, and justice. There, women before the Civil War found a role and a purpose outside their households. This innovative exploration of a coastal Connecticut town, birthplace of two governors and a Supreme Court Chief Justice, retrieves the voices preserved in record books and sermons and the intimate views conveyed in women's letters. Told through the words of those whose lives the meetinghouse shaped, Forgotten Voices uncovers a hidden past. It begins with the displacement of Indigenous people in the area before Europeans arrived, continues with disputes over worship and witchcraft in the early colonial settlement, and looks ahead to the use of Connecticut's most iconic white church as a refuge and sanctuary. Relying on the resources of local archives, the contents of family attics, and the extensive records of the Congregational Church, this community portrait details the long ignored genocide and enslaved people and reshapes prevailing ideas about history's makers. Meticulously researched and including 75 color illustrations, Forgotten Voices will be of interest to anyone exploring the roots of community life in New England. The book is the joint project of the Old Lyme meetinghouse and the Florence Griswold Museum. The museum will host a major exhibit in 20192020, exploring the role of the meetinghouse.
