The first meeting house in Suncook, incorporated as Pembroke in 1759, stood on this site. The land had been granted to soldiers in Lovewell's Indian War, 1722-25, or their survivors, and was largely settled by Congregationalists from Massachusetts Bay. Their first meeting house was made of "Good Hewn Loggs" in 1733. It measured 24 by 30 feet and housed town meetings and religious services. The building was improved in 1735 with seats, window glass, and a pulpit. In 1746, it was replaced by a two-story framed building, which was moved around 1806 and converted to the barn standing to the northwest.
