Welcome...
to the First Seventh-day Adventist Church, and Home of the Sabbath Trail, in Washington, New Hampshire, USA
The history of church building, once called the Meetinghouse, can be found on the History page. You will also find more interesting history about the church and the founding members; learn who some of the former pastors of the church were; and find the major work done to restore the church building, done back in 2002.
It is hosted by the Site Director and his wife, Ken and Marsha Brummel. They have been working and caring for the site since 2012.

For those traveling from afar, bring you wild life books to help you as you walk the Sabbath Trail.
Peak colors in the Fall happen from the last two weeks of September and first two weeks of October.
Also, Merlin Burt's book "Adventist Pioneer Places" on Adventist History in New York and New England, is a good resource for planning those trips to historic sites.

Attempting to visit the site with a vehicle in the late Fall, Winter or early Spring months is discouraged. The road is closed and you have to park at the end of King Street and walk in, and the bathrooms and the church are closed.
There is always access to the Sabbath Trail, at your own risk, in these off season months.
