Rochester Church Historic Buildings Restoration
Will you help preserve our historic Church? We’re raising funds to restore the exterior of the 200-year-old First Congregational Church of Rochester—a cherished town landmark in need of essential repairs due to age and weather.
Thanks to generous contributions, significant support has already been pledged. However, an additional $80,000 is needed before work can begin.
We invite our members and the wider community to join us in this important effort. Your donation will help safeguard this historic building for generations to come.
