First Baptist Church

First Baptist Church in Bellingham, built in 1826, is the town's oldest church. Its steeple bell was purchased and cast by G.H. Holbrook of East Medway in 1833. A 1910 view shows the church alongside the Civil War Monument, which was erected in 1874 and still stands at the intersection of Mechanic Street and South Main Street. In front of the monument is a water trough inscribed with the words "Blessed are the Merciful".
