Loved this church the first time I visited. So worth the walk up to the top. Breathtaking views. 2nd visit, got engaged and made some new memories. We will surely be back a third time! Brooke...

Beautiful church with the original church in the back. Tower had great views and wasn't too hard to climb as it has different levels.

Great view, nice knolagble people, and an interesting history museum. Definitely worth the $5 donation to go up.

The congregational church is just outside the center of town. The tower is open during the summer and early fall. The walk to the top is worth the effort, from the steeple you have unblocked views in all four directions.
