Walpole Meeting House

This historic meetinghouse at the head of South Bristol Peninsula stands today in its original 1772 form, appearing virtually as it did to our forbears. It is one of the three oldest churches in Maine. The chapter placed a marker in 1936.
The Old Walpole Meetinghouse was built that year on land given by John Thomas; the builder believed to have been Samuel Woodward, a shipwright from Scituate, Massachusetts who later moved to Bristol. The Meetinghouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
