The Foundation for the Preservation of the Historic First Church in Groton, CT, Inc. has been established as an ongoing endowment fund whose sole purpose is to raise funds for the restoration and preservation of the First Church building as a landmark of history, architecture and art.


As a museum, the First Church holds valuable pieces of art in the form of inlaid and painted stained-glass windows, the custom-made Moller organ, and historical documents dating back to 1702. The First Church is also notable because over half its interior is made of rubbed and polished oak and the original chandeliers light the interior of the sanctuary.

As a historical museum and sanctuary, the First Church represents all that is good about the community of Groton. Residents of Groton built the beautiful 101-year-old fieldstone structure in 1902 and it is one of the city's most treasured landmarks. This website provides an opportunity to learn about the history of First Church meeting houses, past and present, and the artistic treasures we need to preserve.

The Foundation for the Preservation of the Historic First Church in Groton, CT, Inc. is an ongoing endowment fund. Individuals may make as many tax-deductible donations or stock transfers as they wish. When planning your estate, please consider making a personal commitment to this unique landmark.
