The Alloways Creek Friends Meeting House was built in 1756, the giant buttonwood trees were planted in 1812. The meeting house is in pristine condition with the original interior architecture unchanged having saddle doors, balconies and panels that separated the men and women. The yellow pine woodwork has never been painted, the benches are original with homespun linen pads. The windows still have the original glass made from the Wistarburg glass factory.
