The first settlers on Chautauqua Lake built a place where all people in the community could gather. This "Meeting House" has been at the heart of our community for over 200 years. We're working to ensure this historic place will remain a vital part of the community for generations to come!
Our Need:
We're raising funds to replace the bathrooms and make various repairs throughout the basement so we can open the entire building to be used by the community. Together we're connecting with our past, with each other and a brighter future!
