Support for Dover Friends Meetinghouse

The National Park Service awarded nearly $200,000 in grants to support the restoration of the 18th-century Dover Friends Meetinghouse on Central Avenue in Dover.

The Save America’s Treasures grant will be combined with previous grants received and will go toward restoring the beams and posts in the meetinghouse in Dover.

The Meetinghouse is located at 141 Central Avenue and was raised in June, 1768. It is the oldest religious structure in Dover and a fine example of early post and beam architecture. It is the third meetinghouse of the Friends and for many years was the largest assembly hall in Dover.
