The Meeting House on Main Street in Newtown is right in the middle of West Street. In the old colonial style of having the main town building in the middle of a main street through town. Actually the meeting house was originally located in the middle of a very wide main street and was moved to it's present location in 1792.
The Meeting House is exactly at the Flag Pole in Newtown - another town landmark (some say traffic hazard!). The meeting house is used for weddings, memorial services, community events. My choir - The Newtown Choral Society performs there in May and December.
The parking is limited - a few spaces in front of the meeting house - but there is parking behind the library and businesses along main street that are a short, pleasant walk to the stone steps of the meeting house.
