When it was built in 1829, the church was known as the North Union Meeting House. It
provided worship space for five denominations: Congregational, Christian Baptist, Freewill
Baptist, Methodist and Universalist. Known today as the North Wilmot Church, it has been
owned and maintained by the NWUMHS since 1984.
In 2022, the NWUMHS completed restoration of the windows and foundation at the North
Wilmot Church. The exterior was painted in 2023. The church is available for use by the public
for weddings, memorial services, family reunions and other celebratory events.
