Danville, New Hampshire (GPS location N42° 56′ 13″, W71° 7′ 7″)

Built in 1760, the Danville meetinghouse is one of the few "untouched" colonial meetinghouses.
Officially, this meetinghouse is known as the "Hawke Meetinghouse," because that was
the original name for the settlement in this area.
This structure boasts the oldest "high pulpet" in the state of New Hampshire.
The building is lovingly maintained by the citizens of Danville,
and there is a service there every summer during Old Home Days.
The Danville selectmen also occasionally hold a meeting there from time to time
during the warmer months.
This is a wonderful structure for my artistic purposes, and
I have photographed in and around it on several occasions.
