"We find the first account of Friends at Deep River in the minutes of the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting (near present day Snow Camp, NC). The time was the early 1750's. In 1754 the New Garden Preparative Meeting (Guilford College) granted permission to these Deep River Friends to hold monthly meetings and worship amongst themselves. Twenty-four years later, in 1778, Deep River Monthly Meeting was set off as an independent meeting."
The Meeting House has the date AD1875 over the entrance door. The beautiful brick building houses the congregation on Sundays. This meeting house has been in continual use since 1875. On the grounds, there is a study for the pastor and a secretarial office. There is a cemetery adjacent to the Meeting House.
