The Quaker Meeting House & It's Role in Local History In-Person
Learn about the history of the 1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse and its role in the underground railroad and the abolition movement, along with their influence on the Seneca Falls Convention. You will learn about how the Quakers helped the Seneca People retain their ancestral homelands after the 1838 Treaty of Buffalo Creek. This story illustrates how common, everyday local farmers and tradesmen made a difference on a national scale.
A bit about the all volunteer group that has been working to save and preserve the building to create not only a museum, but a cultural learning center, will also be discussed.
This program is a collaboration between The 1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse, the Red Jacket Community Library and the Victor Farmington Library.
