Historic First Baptist Church Open for Events

Historic First Baptist Church is located on Hill Street at the west end of Russell Avenue. This church is known for its historic beginning as the first Baptist church in Hartford county. The church was formed by a small number of men, which was considered to be a very radical move for the day. People came from as far away as Hartford and Westfield to attend Sunday services. Second Baptist Church is the sister church of First Baptist.
