The Great Meetinghouse is the only Third Haven Monthly Meeting to survive into modern times, and it still maintains a healthy congregation. Worship meetings are held every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before.
