Our fall classic now in its third year had over 100 people join to hear author and Town Historian, Gray Williams, brings to ‘life’ the history of the Chappaqua Quakers and how it has shaped the town of today. In 1745, John Reynolds gave three acres of land on Quaker Road for a meetinghouse and cemetery. At the time, a Black couple, Reynold’s freed slaves, lived in a cabin on the property and their deaths in 1745 marked the first burials in the newly deeded cemetery. Construction began on the Meetinghouse in 1753, which is the oldest documented building in New Castle. |
