| Description |
Reproduction of a drawing of a scene showing two buildings in a pastoral setting with pedestrians on sidewalks in the foreground.
Buildings are separated by the sidewalk by a picket fence. The Darby Meeting was organized in 1682 and the school built circa
1690. The building visible in the background was built in 1805.

| Notes |
Accompanying label: The Darby "Friends," a group then zealous, if few in numbers, organized a meeting in 1684 [sic] and, three
years later, built a place of worship of logs. This also served as a town meeting house. The existing buildings were erected
in 1805 [sic]. Most of the members came from the county Derby, England. After considerably more than a century of use the
structures, in good repair, and the adjoining burial ground are maintained by the Quaker descendants of the original settlers.
