In 1790, the residents of Boscawen voted to build a second meeting house for the residents west of Beaver Dam. The next year they built the Westerly Meeting House for a total cost of $110.68, plus nearly $20 worth of rum . In 1942, it was moved “up the hill” to save it from being destroyed by the Blackwater Dam flood control project.
Preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future. William Murtagh
