Lamoille's
first church, The Little Church of the Crossroads, was dedicated
on
November 5, 1905.
While services had taken place at various locations throughout
the valley since 1872, the Lamoille Presbyterian Church was not
formally organized until October 1890. The congregation gradually
became inactive and was not reorganized until 1904. Members raised
$3,000 to pay for the beautiful church's construction. Its centerpiece
was two memorial stained glass windows donated by the Greenfield
family. By the late 1930's and early 1940's interest had faded.
The church, slowly fell into a state of sad disrepair. However
starting in the mid-1960's a slow but steady restoration began
under the guidance of the Lamoille Women's club. Many local residents
also donated time, money, and materials towards the revamping.
After over a decade of work the church, one of the most recognized
landmarks in the county, was completely restored. It is still
in use today, and a must see for any visitor.
