Newfane Hill Service

The church's annual service on Newfane Hill was held on Sunday, June 29 - commemorating the date when the church was first gathered on June 30, 1774. The service was held near the monument of the first Windham County Courthouse and the old "whipping post," and just a short distance from the site of the first Meetinghouse. This area near the top of Newfane Hill is the site of the original Newfane settlement and town center. The County seat and most of the village was moved to Park Flats in the early 1830s, now the village of Newfane.


After the service, we were invited to the home of Bucky and Carleen Pelsue at the top of Newfane Hill for our iced tea hour and a period of good conversation and distant, though hazy, vistas.
