Newberry (Redlands) Meetinghouse & Cemetery
As Quakers moved west of the Susquehanna River, their numbers grew
large and they sought to establish a Meeting at Newberrytown, York
County, under the care of Sadsbury Meeting in Eastern Lancaster County
in 1738. A year later, it was granted Preparative Meeting status, with
members meeting in various homes until the construction of a log
meetinghouse was completed in 1745. The log structure was replaced by
a stone building in 1792. Later, in 1811, a new meetinghouse was built
two miles west of Newberrytown and is called Redlands. Newberry
(Redlands) Meetinghouse celebrated its 200th birthday with a magnificent event on Sunday, August 14, 2011. Check out the Redlands Reunion website for more information.
Redlands is located on rte 382 between Wellsville, PA and York PA. There is no physical address, but Friends coming from PA Rte. 15 should take 74 south to Rte 177 and then turn right onto Rte 382S. |
