THE OLDSHIP MEETINGHOUSE A History of the Old Ship - Now on DVD! |
||||
|
English colonists settled in Bare Cove as early as 1632, but over the next few years, over 40 Puritan families arrived from Hingham, England, and re-named the community Hingham, which then became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1681, the sons and grandsons of the original settlers built the meetinghouse that still stands today, which is the only remaining meetinghouse of its kind, as well as the oldest church in America to have been in continuous use. It is now a Registered National Historic Landmark.
This video is the story of the evolution of both the building and the community of Hingham, as the town and the Old Ship Meetinghouse are now well into their fourth century. The History of The Old Ship Meetinghouse was originally produced by Jeff Spencer in 1996, televised on the History Channel® in 1998 and now available for the first time on DVD. |
