About Our Church
The Congregational Church in Claremont, NH was organized in 1771, incorporated in 1815 and again incorporated in 1917 with its present name, The Congregational Church in Claremont, N.H. Inc. Later the church voted to become a UCC church, which it remains today.
The church building is a beautiful Gothic Revival brick structure with an impressive steeple. In the winter of 2001 the sanctuary was renovated, restoring it to the period of the late 1890s.
