Today, some 140 years later, churches are among the most striking features of the town. The CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH on Main Street, a beautiful building of blue dolomite erected in 1883, is the successor to many structures since the original parish was organized in 1743. Adjoining the church is the lavish HOPKINS MEMORIAL MANSE built to honor the Rev. Samuel Hopkins, pastor in Great Barrington, 1744-69. Of blue dolomite, it has cloisters to connect it with the church. Baedeker's Guide to the United States stars both buildings. The site of the church is approximately that of the Great Council Fire of the Mahican Indians.
