History Harvest - 200 Years of the Meeting House

This October we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the 1820 Pleasant Hill Meeting House, and we are reaching out to the community to help us document the history of this important building!

For this “History Harvest” we are seeking any photos and documents related to the Meeting House that can be digitally scanned by our Collections team.

In addition to three community collecting days, individual inquiries can be directed to Dr. Jacob Glover.

Collecting Days hosted in the 1820 Meeting House:

• Saturday, September 5 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
• Friday, September 18 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
• Saturday, September 19 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

What types of materials are we looking for?
