Providence Methodist Church

Providence Methodist Church is at 51 Main Street. It was made in 1893. Its style is the High Victorian Gothic. The parsonage is at 11 High Street. A chapel was added in 1882.

Also the Olde Center Burial Grounds was there since 1787. It was moved to the Main Street Cemetery. The 1865 move was due to the church that was here prior to this one had to be built here. In 1866 this was a church for the same group that had been meeting since 1862.
