 Jaffrey Meeting House


The web page for Jaffery states, "Jaffrey Center is the town's earliest settled area and its original town center.  In 1775 the residents raised the MEETING HOUSE, which was used for town meetings and church services.  Behind the Meeting House settlers laid out a large burying ground; across the street they erected a house for the minister. (The Manse is still owned by descendants of the first minister's family.)  A system of roads radiated out from the village."
