Description |
Monument and tablet at "Town Burying Ground", Pool Road, erected by Rebecca Emery Chapter, DAR, in 1904. This monument also approximates the location of the *second* Town Meeting House, built in 1719-1720. The first Town Meeting House was built at Winter Harbor (Biddeford Pool) in 1660 -1666. The population, however, kept growing back from the sea and by 1759 the second meeting house was abandoned in favor of the third meeting house, built further back from the sea. This third meeting house was the present Pool Road church, near Guinea Road, built in 1759 and remodelled in 1840 to its present form. (-Dane Yorke) |
