NOTES:

First Congregational Church

42 Park Street, Adams, MA

(413) 743-1677

The Congregational Church at South Adams was organized January 1, 1840... Rev. Stillman Pratt... was dismissed June 14, 1848. On the 15h of the same month, Rev. J. Jay Dana was installed as pastor and still holds that relation. The number of memmber, January 1, 1854, was 40.

The First Congregational Church of South Adams was organized by Rev. Stillman Pratt, with two members, January 1, 1840, Mr. Pratt being also the first settled minister, installed in 1845. In 1843, the society erected a house of worship which did service until 1868, when the present handsome wood structure was erected, which will comfortably seat 600 persons, and is valued, including grounds, at $30,000.00, its original cost being $25,000.00. The society has about 300 members with Rev. Edward Hungerford, pastor. We quote from a copy of the New York Observer, of 1883, the following paragraph relative to this church, from the pen of S. E. Bridgeman...

First Congregational Church: This is the only wooden church in Adams still in use. Built in 1868, just after the Civil War, it holds a prominent spot on Park Street. The parish house and parsonage to the south of the church were built in 1895. Notice the brick and shingle construction. The Plunkett family was very active in this church and generously supported it for many decades.
