Owned by the Free Will Baptist church from 1832 to 1865, it was sold that year to the Wesleyan Methodist Church. With Church Union in Canada, this meeting house became a United Church. It is one of the few meeting house style religious buildings left in Nova Scotia.
It's not known when last the meeting house held religious services. In 1988 it was declared a Provincial Heritage Property and is currently under the care of the Port Medway Heritage Society.
This sign, relating a glimpse into the building's history, is mounted on the front wall of the meeting house.
