The Quaker Meeting House in Adams, built in 1782 by the East Hoosuck Meeting of the Society of Friends, will be open to the public on Sundays, 1-4 p.m., from July 5-October 11.
The meeting house, essentially unchanged since its construction, is located in Maple Street Cemetery. It was the place of worship for four generations of the Anthony family, including Susan B. Anthony for her first 6 years. The social reformer and women's rights activist was born in Adams in 1820.
