Poquonock Community Church, Poquonock, Conn.
Poquonock Community Church is actually the Second Congregational Church of Poquonock, founded June 2, 1841. The "First Church" was founded in 1726 and lasted until 1820. At that point, unfortunately, the "First Church" entered a very dark period of intemperance and a loss of morals. The meetinghouse was literally left "to rack and ruin."...
Early in 1840, a Rev. Hempstead (Old records do not give us a first name) was the first to suggest the formation of "Second Church."...
The meetinghouse was constructed and the church was officially dedicated on April 12, 1854. Horace Bushnell was one of the honored guests at this dedication...
