Fairfield’s “Old Stone” Church is a finely preserved example of an early meetinghouse, which was constructed in 1780 by a Presbyterian congregation. The original Georgian interior, including the raised pulpit, remains intact. Without electricity and heated only by a stove, the only major exterior alteration is a change of roof cladding from wood shingle to slate.

The Trust grant will help fund the building’s structural stabilization, caused by the inappropriate installation of a slate roof in 1880.  The Trust previously funded a preservation plan that identified the structural threat.
