St. Peter's Church, est. 1771. St. Peter's
Church has been the hub and heart
of Spencertown for
over two centuries. Spencertown
was purchased from the Stockbridge Indians in 1756 , the first town meeting was held in
1757and the church was organized in 1760 and construction was completed in 1771.
Originally St. Peters was a Congregational Church and remained so until 1824 when it
affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. The church
originally stood on the current
village green, but in 1926 was moved to its present location, at which time the vestibule,
balcony, and steeple were added. St. Peter's has weathered the ravages of war,
flood, and blizzard and today it is a strong and energetic church, deriving its strength
from its commitment of God and the spirit of its members.
Its doors stand open, welcoming all.
