This is the location of Sudbury's first meetinghouse and town center. It was completed in 1643, five years after the first settlers to the area arrived.
The plaque reads:
"On this site in 1643 the Sudbury colonists built their first meetinghouse.
Rev. Edmund Brown Minister
Ay, call it holy ground, the soil where first they trod, they have left unstained, what there they found, freedom to worship God."
The plaque has sunk into the ground over time, it's possible that there is more to it.
