History

In 1834, Enos Adamson deeded 3 acres (12,000 m²) east of Pendleton to the Society of Friends. Adamson was paid $15 for the land. In 1836 the congregation built a log house for worship on the ground. In 1857, a frame meeting house was constructed at a cost of $800. The meeting house is representative of the rural meeting houses of the period. The building is still maintained and a pioneer cemetery adjoins the meeting house.^[2]

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.^[1]
