Huntington Meetinghouse
In 1750, a preparative meeting was established near York Springs, Pennsylvania in Huntington Township, Adams County. Friends obtained land for a Meetinghouse by 1766, with a permanent one erected in 1790. This structure remains much as it was then. Huntington Monthly Meeting, hard hit by western immigration, was laid down in 1861 and put under the care of Menallen Monthly Meeting.
Huntington Meetinghouse is part of the National Park Service National Underground 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. 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.
