Beneficent Congregation Church

Built in 1810, the plans for this church were actually drawn up in Ireland and brought over by Reverend James "Paddy" Wilson. This church is one of the earliest examples of classical architecture surviving in the U.S. today. Inside it is a typical New England-style meetinghouse, and has a crystal chandelier and a gallery clock working since 1826. The dome is modelled after Dublin's Custom House. Open: Mon-Fri, 9am-3pm; Sun 9am-12pm.
