Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse - Pembroke MA - Quaker Meeting Houses on Waymarking.com

The Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker church at Washington Street and Schoosett Street in Pembroke, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.

The meeting house was built in 1706 by Robert Barker with later 19th-century additions. It is one of the oldest Quaker meetinghouses in the United States. This meetinghouse was used by local Quakers from 1706 until 1876 when the meetinghouse was closed and its members transferred to meetings in either Sandwich or New Bedford. Today the Meetinghouse is owned by the Pembroke Historical Society and has seen occasional use by area Quakers.

The Meetinghouse sits on a plot of land in a highly developed commercial area, however the property area big enough to give a sense of isolation from the commercial activity. The meetinghouse is constructed of wood with white clapboard siding on three sides and cedar shakes on the 4th. The dual entrance is via a small ell to the primary building. There is a small cemetery next to the meetinghouse, with 50-60 interments, with the oldest being 1789. The property is in very good condition and well maintained.
