The old Meetinghouse was brought back into use in the 20th century by an interested group of Philadelphia Quakers who summered in the area. It had been abandoned( as was the old Quaker burial ground near the site of the original and much larger Meetinghouse off what is now called Cedar Ave.) with the decline in membership in the Religious Society of Friends. Because the modern use of the Meetinghouse was seasonal, the Friends worshipped as an "Indulged" Meeting, having no business meeting or committees, under the care of the Providence Friends Meeting.

     Everyone is welcomed to join unprogrammed worship in the simple structure, where the livestock from surrounding farms often adds background to the messages we share. There is no First Day School and no bathroom. There are two steps up into the building.

Conanicut Friends Meeting (Indulged) will open for worship at the Old Meetinghouse on Weeden Lane in Jamestown on Sunday, May 4 at 10:30 am.

We invite Friends and attenders to join us at any time during these warm months in our 1787 Meetinghouse for unprogrammed worship. If there are any questions, feel free to contact conanicut@providencefriends.org.
