New England Churches

I am a fan of New England Churches.  Perhaps it is the architecture or the quaintness of a time gone by but each time I drive through a town, and see a steeple, I stop and check out the church.  I think I will make posting photos of these churches a new feature here on the blog.

Recently I drove through the Town of Petersham Massachusetts and came across these two Churches that used to be one.  Back in the day each New England town had a meetinghouse in the center of the town.  For the most part, of course depending on where you were from, it was a Congregational Church.  Then there was the split between the Congregational and the Unitarian and thus was born another Church.  I do not think that either of these are the original buildings but they stand on the original sites.
