The Amesbury Friends Meetinghouse is a Friends Meeting House at 120 Friend Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts. The simple 1.5 story wood frame building was constructed in 1850, with poet John Greenleaf Whittier serving on the building committee.[2] From 1851 to 1962, the meetinghouse hosted the Salem Quarterly meeting. The Amesbury Monthly Meeting of Friends is a current thriving congregation, with Meeting for Worship every Sunday at 10 AM. The facing bench displays a small plaque that reads, "Whittier's Bench."
The meetinghouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] It continues to be used for Quaker meetings.
