Pilgrim Congregational Church (first) is built.
1862
The church is located on Cottage Street. Originally the Church of Jesus Christ, the congregation was established on November 2, 1862, and met initially in the home of Rev. Edmund Squire. It votes to join with the Congregationalists on May 6, 1867, and adopts its subsequent name in November 1877. The church building is moved to Uphams Corner in 1878. A new church building (second) opens on Columbia Road in 1892.*
