1843 by Methodist whaling captains, it features
Greek Revival-style architecture and a Gothic-
looking bell tower with the town clock.
The interior of the church contains a dramatic mural
by Carl Wendte and original whale-oil lamps. The
Preservation Trust acquired Old Whaling Church in
1980 and allows it to be used for town meetings,
weddings, civic events, and more.
