Warrington Friends Meeting House

The Warrington Meeting House is located on Route 74 between Wellsville and Rossville in York county. The Society of Friends (Quakers) began having meetings on the site in 1745. The current building was erected in 1769, although it was enlarged in 1782. The Quakers met there until 1861, but so many people were moving west as the country grew that there weren't enough members left to keep the doors open. The meeting house was reactivated in 1947 and is still in use today. This building could be the finest example of early Quaker meeting architecture in the country.
