Meetinghouse under the Ledge

[2] Named for the ledge that rises to the west of its former location, only the church's eastern doorstep remains, beside today's Garrison Lane.

The meetinghouse was built in 1729, when the town was North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay, from material floated down the Royal River from the First Falls and hauled up by oxen from Larrabee's Landing, further down Gilman Road, towards Cousins Island.

[6] In 1838, it was mounted as a shipping guide on an iron rod atop the ledge, overlooking the meetinghouse, by a group of Yarmouth residents.

The weathervane is now on display at the Yarmouth History Center, but its old supports still exist high up in the woods on the western side of Lafayette Street.

[8] The Cutter House at 60 Gilman Road, built circa 1730, is the oldest extant building in Yarmouth.
