You can see the first meeting house in Williamstown reconstructed in Field Park in 1953 for the bicentennial celebration of our first Proprietor’s meeting using the tools and construction methods of the British settlers along Hemlock Brook. In order to gain title to a lot, settlers were required to clear five acres and construct a house measuring at least 15 by 18 feet with a 7 foot stud. It was these requirements that gave the name “regulation house” to these early buildings.
