The 1771 Congregational-Unitarian meeting house is now over 250 years old.  General Israel Putnam of Revolutionary War fame led the movement to build it.  Seriously damaged in the 1938 hurricane, it was mostly restored to its colonial grandeur between 1961 and 2007.  The Rev. Samuel May led social reform efforts there (peace, education, temperance, antislavery) from 1821 to 1836. Celia Burleigh became a minister there in 1871, in Connecticut's first ordination of a woman. Free admission. Hours: 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 7 Canterbury Road at Hartford Rd. on Green. Parking onsite and at nearby churches.
