Newtown Friends Meeting

Newtown Monthly Meeting owes its origin to Edward Hicks, primitive artist, who in 1815 gathered nearby Friends to meeting in the empty Court House. In 1817 the main part of the meetinghouse was built, a plain, oblong structure of stone and stucco. It now houses a permanent display of Edward Hicks' paintings. The Meeting has under its care Newtown Friends School (pre-K through 8).
