Southwick Congregational Church - Southwick, MA - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The current meeting house in Southwick dates from 1824. The congregation was established in 1773. The earlier meeting house was destroyed by fire in August 1823.

Isaac Damon, one of the leading architects in western Massachusetts was the lead contractor for construction of this church. It is likely that church construction was completed in November 1824 because this is when workers' papers were deposited in a box inside one of the columns. Check the secondary web site below for a description of the discovery of that box in 1950.

All are welcome at Sunday worship, 10:00 am. The present congregation operates a web site as follows.
