East Alsteads beautiful Second Congregational Church. History shows in 1788 a number of the members of the first church became dissatisfied with their pastor, or pastors, withdrew from the society, and with others, organized the Second Congregational church, at East Alstead, with eighteen members, over whom Rev. Levi Lankton, of Southington, Conn., was installed, September 2,1789. He remained with the society about a third of a century, receiving into the church ninetythree members. The church building is capable of seating 250! Another beautiful old building!
