"Labyrinth, 1239 Main Street, contributing
This site, replanted and restored in 1939, is on the site of the original labyrinth, which it replicates. The hedges are four feet high and planted in a circular maze pattern. In the center is a one-story, round building with field stone walls, a flared conical wood shingle roof with a bronze cap, doorless entries on the east and west and glassless windows on the north and south. It is rough finished on the exterior, and smoothly finished inside. The maze is significant as embodying an idea central to the Rappite faith: that it is difficult to make the right choices to reach true harmony." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
