Old Church on the Hill Committee

 

The purpose of the Old Church on the Hill Committee is to facilitate the maintenance and repair as needed of the Old Church on the Hill, identified as Union Church on the National Historic Register as 80000245. In addition, the Committee shall explore ways of utilizing the Church in a manner which benefits the residents of the Town of Buckfield.

​

URGENT:

The Old Church needs your help. An engineering study in 2020 determined that the steeple was in need of significant repairs. The study also identified issues with the roof that need to be addressed. At the time, the estimate to repair the building was $635,000. We have received other opinions that the condition of the building aren't as dire and that repairs could be done more affordably with the help of volunteers. Without a strong volunteer effort, the fate of the church is in jeopardy.

 

Help the Town of Buckfield decide the future of this historic landmark. Whether it be restoration, or finding a new owner who can put in the time and money it requires, the decision is up to the residents of Buckfield. Lets not let this icon be lost to time.
