Wingate and Mary Haines were Quakers and they were instrumental in the construction of a place of worship for them and their fellow Quakers. Today, that building is a museum owned by Frontier Heritage.

The church will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

The president of Frontier Heritage, Jim Everett, has graciously volunteered his time to serve as the lead docent for the church for our benefit. Jim has been involved in the preservation of the church and its collection of memorabilia for 15 years. He will be on hand to explain items and to answer questions. The facility has one composting toilet.

Starting at 11:00 a.m.

There will be a presentation on the Haines family connection to the church as well as likely Quaker customs of their time. The church evolved over the decades into a Protestant church and that history will also be discussed.

Steve Curwood, a lifelong Quaker, is a journalist, author, public radio personality (Living on Earth) and actor who is very excited to explain Quaker life. He is married to a Haines descendant, Jennifer Stevens Curwood, and both are on the rolls of the Quaker Meeting in Dover, New Hampshire.
