The Stone Church & Meetinghouse does not have regular hours. It’s open only for scheduled events. So do get on our mailing list, or check our Events page, to see what’s upcoming! And feel free to look around the outside of the church and its grounds at any time. The building sits on a historic Green triangle, New Preston’s center in the mid-1700s. During the Revolutionary War period, the Green also served as a drilling ground for the local militia. Directly across the street from the church front is a stone house, now privately owned but in colonial days known as Newton’s Tavern. At the back of the church, on Gunn Hill Road, is a small stone house, also privately owned, but once the local one-room schoolhouse. Next to the former schoolhouse is a home that was once the parsonage. Walking down Gunn Hill, in the field off to the right, you’ll usually see a small mixed herd of auburn and black-and-white cows, a reminder of New Preston’s rich history of farming!
