Established eight years before George Washington was born, the Wilton Parish, under a 1726 charter granted by the State Assembly in Hartford, was the local government in early colonial times. It provided the roads and bridges the parishioners needed to attend church, and was authorized by the state to collect taxes and levy fines to pay for those improvements.
The first meeting house was erected on Wolfpit Road. About ten years later, the congregation outgrew the original meeting house and a second one was built on the corner of Danbury Road and Sharp Hill.
As the town grew northward, in 1790 the congregation decided to erect a new building "on the Hill at the South Easterly part of Daniel Gregory's woodland". Thus we have our present church building and site.
The new meeting house was modeled after "ye prime ancient Meeting House" of Norwalk, and was dedicated in December 1790. (George III still reigned in England, while Washington was serving his first term as President in the U. S. capital city of Philadelphia).
Today, this sanctuary is the oldest meeting house still in use in Fairfield County and is one of the dozen oldest in Connecticut. The physical plant has been added to and renovated from time to time. The building and offices provide the facility our progressive congregation needs, and through this web site invites all to worship with us.
