First Congregational Church, built in 1730 and remodeled and turned in 1874. The most interesting feature of the building is the pulpit; the steps on each side are of later date, but the central part, with delicate paneling and graceful lines, bears the date 1730. The church has a belfry and many-paned windows. - Maine: A Guide 'Down East', Tour 1a, pg. 250.
The church is has the appearance of many New England churches. It is the oldest church in continuous use in Maine. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The church is now well maintained and continues as an active church.
