Third Haven Meeting House

Construction began along the river Third Haven (now known as Tred Avon), on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) plot of land from John Edmondson, a wealthy merchant and long-standing Quaker resident of the Eastern Shore.

Originally known as the "Great Meetinghouse," the house at Third Haven was to be "sixty foote long, forty four foote wide...framed with good white oak...the roof double raftered and studded,"[1] constructed with north, south, east, and west wings.

In 1797, the east and west wings of the building were removed; the entire structure was widened by 10 feet (3.0 m) along its length, giving it a slightly unbalanced look which has been commented upon.

The Great Meetinghouse is the only Third Haven Monthly Meeting to survive into the third millennium, and it still maintains a healthy congregation.

The building itself has attracted a great deal of interest by historians and locals to the town of Easton, and is a common destination for visitors to the Eastern Shore.
