Puffer United Methodist Church's history in Morristown goes back over 200 years. The society first formed in Morristown Corners and moved to its present site in 1874, when a small chapel was constructed. The chapel was moved to the back of the lot in 1888 and a grander sanctuary was added to the front of the building, which stood until the current one replaced it in 1970. This post-modern style building retains many historical elements from the 1888 building, including the stained-glass windows, the weathervane, and the 1200-pound bell. In 2017, Puffer United Methodist Church joined with the First United Church of Christ across Pleasant Street to become the United Community Church of Morrisville, making possible the building's current educational use. The Shaw window was given to the church by the Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from 1902 to 1907, in memory of his father, Boardman O. Shaw, and it was restored and re-installed in the new sanctuary in 1984.
