Quaker Meetinghouse in Pembroke New Notable Land Record
A recent addition to the Plymouth County Notable Land Records Collection was the Quaker Meetinghouse in Pembroke. This site, located at the intersection of Rts. 139 and 53 in Pembroke, is another important part of Plymouth County’s history. The meetinghouse, built in 1706, is the oldest Quaker Meetinghouse in Massachusetts and the third oldest in the United States.
The property was placed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks in 2006 as part of Pembroke’s 300th Anniversary. For a further description and a copy of the deed, please click on the Notable Land Records Collection of this website and scroll down to Number 31. It can also be viewed in the revolving notable land records display in the entrance corridor of our Plymouth office.
This notable land record and related information was brought forward to our volunteer Display Committee by Elizabeth (Libby) Bates, Chairman of the Friends Meetinghouse Board of Trustees, Assessor/Appraiser for the Town of Marshfield and past President of the Plymouth County Assessors Association. Thank you Libby.
