The Rockingham Meeting House, also known as Old North Meeting House and First Church in Rockingham, is a historic civic and religious building on Meeting House Road in Rockingham, Vermont, United States. The Meeting House was built between 1787 and 1801 and was originally used for both Congregational church meetings as well as civic and governmental meetings. Church services ceased in 1839 but town meetings continued to be held in it until 1869.[4] It was restored in 1906 and has been preserved.
It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000 as an exceptionally well-preserved "second period" colonial-style meeting house.[1] The building, owned by the town, is available for weddings and other events under rules established by the town.[5]
