Located in the center of town, Midway Church was founded in 1792 by Puritans who moved to the area as missionaries to the American Indians. This 1957 building is a replica of the original church, complete with a slave gallery and high pulpit. From its congregation came two signers of the Declaration of Independence, two Revolutionary War generals and a U.S. Senator. Among the church's early pastors were Abiel Holmes, father of Oliver Wendell Holmes and Jedidiah Morse, father of Samuel Morse. The church and cemetery can be visited at any time; the keys are kept at the service station next door.
