In A.D. 1644, English Puritans from Wethersfield erected the first foursquare, rough-hewn log meeting house of the First Congregational Church in Branford, then called Totokett, on a site overlooking the tidal river where they might worship God in their own way. A millstone that ground flour for the daily bread of the founders of this church and community was later placed there in respect for their staunch faith and courageous pioneering by the First Ecclesiastical Society of the Town of Branford in A.D. 1964.
