The FORTY FORT MEETINGHOUSE, River St. and Wyoming Ave., a clapboard structure with green trim, was built in I807 and restored in 1922.
The Protestant groups on the west side of the North Branch joined to
build this place of worship following a Methodist revival conducted by
Bishop Francis Asbury in a near-by grove in the summer of 1806.

Felt like I was back in New England and no wonder the meetinghouse was designed by an architect from Connecticut, Joseph Hitchcock. The Forty Fort Cemetery is right behind the meetinghouse, however it does not appear to have been created for solely the Congregational or Methodist Church who the building was built by.
