| Historic narrative: | |||||
| Organized in 1832, the congregation built a frame building in the 1830s at the corner of Main and New Hartford St. In 1880 they replaced the frame building with a brick church. In 1956 the sanctuary was rotated from the north to the east, the organ was overhauled and new lights, flooring and pews were installed. In 2003 the building was placed on the National Historic Register as part of the Wolcott Historic District. | |||||
