This is the last of six Quaker Meeting Houses that were built in Prince Edward County at the end of the 19th century. The building is a simple wood and brick construction in a simple gothic design.

The Meeting House was in use from 1885 to 1966. The building was donated to the town of Wellington, and converted into a heritage museum in 1983. The building has been left in its original condition.

There are displays from the Church and other community events inside.
