National Historical Landmarks-Rockingham Meeting House

The Rockingham Meeting House is a rare 18th century New England meetinghouse of the second period type, virtually unaltered on the exterior or interior. Its barn-like massing and austere appearance evoke Medieval and Puritan forms, yet it is styled in the Georgian manner to a degree unmatched among surviving New England meetinghouses of its type and period.

It is the most intact 18th century public building remaining in Vermont, and is a distinctive survivor from the period of settlement by European immigrants when structures built at public expense were employed for both religious and civic purposes.
