In an unusual Music at the Meeting House afternoon, we will hold a postponed celebration of the church’s bicentennial. It will feature an illustrated talk by Cliff Brown about the Meeting House’s architecture, how it was built, and a half dozen major events in the church’s 200 year history — and the Town’s history. Because this is a “Music at the Meeting House” event, this talk will be accompanied by special music sung to commemorate the events.

Did you know that President Tyler played a very active role in negotiating an end to the Dorr Rebellion? the culminating events of which took place in Chepachet? Did you know that many Proprietors of the Chepachet Meeting House played a major role in the Dorr Rebellion? A wonderful opportunity to sing “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!” Did you know that a pastor of the Chepachet Free Will Baptist Church was a leading abolitionist and temperance advocate (and, incidentally, the grandfather of actress Betty Davis)? Come and hear some interesting history and hear some famous songs (that you probably haven’t heard for a while) sung to commemorate some important historical events
