First Congregational Church (Williamstown, Mass.)
Biographical notes:
The First Congregational Church of Williamstown, Mass., was organized in 1765 when Whitman Welch was called to preach in that town. Meetings were conducted first in a log school house and then, in 1768, in the first log meeting house. After two meeting houses burned, in 1798 and 1866, a new building was constructed in 1869. Pastors who succeeded Rev. Welch included Seth Swift (1779-1807), Ralph W. Gridley (1816-1834), Mason Noble (ca. 1865), and Albert Hopkins (1869-1872). Over the years, the Church served both Williams College and the town, providing as well a site for town meetings.
