What IS the Meeting House,

Anyway?

2020 Summer Music Series

Begins May 1st

Built in 1866, The East Fairfield Union Meeting House has been the architectural, social and spiritual anchor of our rural community for 150 years. Folks were married here, baptized their babies here, and attended candlelit Christmas Eve services here. For generations, the weather, milk prices, and road conditions were seriously discussed within these four walls.

​

Seven years ago, the building was acquired by an enthusiastic group of local residents under  the umbrella of the Fairfield Community Center Association, a small non-profit organization providing essential services and enrichment programs to the region.  We firmly believe that one way to preserve the character and integrity of a community is through the preservation of its old buildings. Further, we're convinced that music and art is the glue that binds us all together. Thus, we find ourselves with The Meeting House on the Green, and the exciting challenge of preserving it for future generations, as well as re-purposing it for the here and now.

Our Next Major Project!

We're currently fundraising for matching funds for an anticipated grant from the 1772 Foundation for exterior repairs and painting this summer! Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of June. These grants for "maintenance" are scarce as hen's teeth, and we think we have a pretty good shot at this one! If you'd like to donated to our painting fund, please make a check out to Meeting House and mail it to: Meeting House Painting Project, Box 16, East Fairfield, VT 05448. THANK YOU!
