"Methodism in Berkshire was one of the primitive institutions of pioneer days and from the little devoted gatherings of early years there have grown into prosperous life in the town two strong societies Of this faith. The first class was formed soon after the town was organized but not until- 1825 was a society brought into existence. In 1827 a frame meeting house was erected, and was thereafter used until replaced with the substantial modern edifice built in 1889. Its members number 150 persons."
