One of the oldest surviving places of worship has been lovingly restored in the town of Rockingham. The Rockingham Meeting House was built in 1787 and was continuously used through the 1860s, when it was abandoned when Bellows Falls became an industrial hotspot along the Connecticut River. It was unoccupied until 1907 and vandalized, but was soon restored and refurbished and is once again open to the public. Vermont Historical Society Executive Director Steve Perkins and ABC 22 & Fox 44 Anchor Mike Hoey continue their visit to Bellows Falls to learn all about it.

 

This Place in History is produced in partnership by Local 22 & Local 44 (www.mychamplainvalley.com) and the Vermont Historical Society.
