About

Built in 1801, the First Congregational Church of Washington can trace its history to the Puritans who settled Connecticut during the 17th century. It was originally used as a meetinghouse for the community to come together to worship or to discuss town business. Today, the Church still maintains its religious identity and warmly welcomes everyone to worship with the local congregation.
