The First Church of Christ in Wethersfield, Connecticut, is embarking on a significant restoration project for its iconic steeple, built in 1761. The goal is to raise $3.2 million to repair the structure, which stands 170 feet tall and serves as a town landmark. The project is set to begin in April 2027 and conclude in October of the same year. The steeple has historical significance, having hosted notable figures like George Washington and John Adams. Its one of Connecticuts oldest church buildings, featuring a 1929 clock and a 2030-pound bell. The steeple is in need of repair due to natural wear, with experts warning of potential structural failure within a decade. Fundraising efforts have reached halfway, with $800,000 raised and another $800,000 pledged. Donations can be made through GoFundMe or directly to the church.
