One thing so many small New England towns have are charming wood-frame white churches from the first half of the 19th century, Eastford, Connecticut is no exception. In 1793, a Baptist Society was organized at Northford (then a part of Ashford), and the first pastor, Daniel Bolton, oversaw construction of the first church there. Fifty years later, the congregation grew and their finances allowed for the construction of this Greek Revival style church in 1843. The building was added onto for a Ladies Benevolent Society and a Sunday School, giving the structure its larger appearance today. While the church is today is covered in later siding, the building is well-maintained and the original siding is likely underneath for a future restoration.
