Old Walpole Meetinghouse
Old Walpole Meetinghouse is a Presbyterian church at Walpole Meeting House Rd in Walpole, ME 04573.

Old Walpole Meetinghouse is part of the Presbyterian family of churches in The American Church Story. 18 congregations of the Presbyterian family gather across Maine — 11,638 across the United States on The Church Map.
Presbyterians gave American Christianity much of its backbone: seminaries, catechisms, and shared government by elders rather than by one man, a habit that shaped the country's civic life as much as its churches. They have been among the most persistent builders of colleges, hospitals, and mission agencies this nation has.
