Foxboro Historical Society

The Meeting House on Foxboro Common was erected in 1763 as a prerequisite to incorporation, which did not come until 15 years later in 1778. In repeated petitions for incorporation, families living in Foxboro - who were still part of Wrentham, Walpole, Stoughton and Stoughtonham - cited the difficulties of travel to these distant places on Sunday morning for worship. From that humble beginning, Foxboro became a place of many faiths.

At the September meeting, Jack will bring to life the story of "The Churches of Foxboro," starting with the Meeting House on the Common, the separation of church and state in the village, the growth of the various churches, the opening of chapels in each of the outlying districts and what led to many of the denominations coming to town.

There were, at times, great outpourings of faith in the village, ecumenical movements that united the faithful of many denominations. This colorful chapter of local history will unfold at the September meeting in an illustrated program on The Churches of Foxboro.

The meeting will take place in the Fuller Room of the Boyden Library (at the corner of Bird Street and Baker Street in Foxboro center) on Tuesday, September 23, at 7:30 pm. Presentations of the historical society are free, all are welcome, and refreshments are served.
