This octagonal church was built in 1839 and entered onto the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It was designed by its then-minister Charles Follen, a German immigrant who is credited with introducing the Christmas tree tradition to New England. Ralph Waldo Emerson and John S. Dwight were also among its ministers. With excellent acoustics, it has also remained a popular performance space through the years.

Open Sundays: 10:30am Worship Service, In the Sanctuary and Online.
