In 1750, a preparative meeting was
established near York (Sulpher) Springs, PA in Huntington Township,
Adams County. Friends obtained land for a Meeting house by 1766, with a
permanent one erected in 1790. This structure remains much as it was
then. Like the Meeting at Newberrytown, Huntington Meeting was hard
hit by western immigration and was laid down in 1861 and put under the
care of Menallen Monthly Meeting.
Huntington
Meetinghouse is part of the National Park Service National Network to
Freedom that commemorates sites involved in the Underground Railroad. The cemetery at Huntington is the
burial site of William and Phebe Wright who have been documented as
having assisted over 1000 fugitives from slavery on the Underground Railroad
to freedom in the north and Canada. The Journey Through Hallowed Ground website has additional information on both Huntington meetinghouse and William and Phebe Wright. Today, the cemetery is an active burial
site for Quakers in the area and for those who have moved away but wish
to be buried in their ancestral resting places.
Local Friends and Friends from
Menallen hold Meeting for Worship on the first Sunday from April to
October at the Huntington Meeting House.
