Significance: The First Congregational Church of Vermontville was constructed during the Civil War and dedicated on November 30, 1864. It was built to meet the needs of the Union Colony, a religiously bonded group which had settled in Vermontville in 1837. The Colony was formed in East Poultney, Vermont, and the church is quite similar to various prototypes found in New England. This is especially true in the roof framing, which is of a type in common use in that area in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
