Be a Part of History.

Welcome to The Ware Center Meeting House and Museum, a treasured historic landmark that has stood the test of time.

As you step inside, you'll be transported back in time to the days when this meeting house was the hub of community life. From the sturdy oak pews to the hand-carved pulpit, every detail of this building speaks to a bygone era.

Our restoration efforts go beyond mere preservation. We are creating a vibrant space that serves the needs of the modern community, hosting concerts, lectures, and other cultural events in this majestic setting, and using the space for community gatherings and celebrations.

All of this will require a significant investment of time, effort, and resources. But we believe that the restoration of this meeting house is a worthy endeavor, one that will pay dividends for years to come. By preserving this historic landmark, we can connect with our past, enrich our present, and inspire future generations to come.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you're a local resident, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-preserved building, we welcome your support. Together, we can ensure that the historic meeting house remains a beloved fixture in our community for generations to come.
