Jaffrey, New Hampshire (GPS location N00° 00′ 00″, W00° 00′ 00″)
The town of Jaffrey, New Hampshire, bosts one of the most picturesque
meetinghouses, at least from the outside.
The frame was raised on June 17, 1775, which was also the day of the battle of Bunker Hill.
Tradition has it that the sound of the distant cannon fire could be heard by the workers.
The building is currently used as a community center, and the interior
has been substantially modified to be a small theatre.
Thankfully, a second floor was never added.
