Antique Real Photo Postcard, circa pre-1907. First Congregational Church, United Congregational Church (UCC), Hopkinton, New Hampshire. Divided back, CYKO stampbox, unused. Although this is a divided back card, we have an identical view on an undivided back card thereby indicating the photo was taken pre-1907. Condition: Excellent. Comments: On the far northern edge of English settlement, this church was gathered on November 23, 1757 as the Church of Christ at Hopkinton, and the Reverend James Scales was ordained as its first pastor. A large and active village church during the first half of the nineteenth century, First Church served a thriving agricultural community and the small but busy commercial and professional center of Hopkinton.
