Colonial Meetinghouses
of New England
 
click images to enlarge

In colonial New England, the Meetinghouse was the center of both civic and religious life. These structures were (usually) built with tax money, and they are a fascinating glimpse into our nation's history.

Only a few of these structures remain as they were. This project explores them, not just to document what they look like, but also to reveal the sense of mystery and wonder that I feel when I am in or around them.

A publication and traveling exhibition are being planned. To learn more about this project, click here .
