Germantown is the first permanent Mennonite settlement in the New World, and the first place Germans settled in the colonies.  The 1770 Meetinghouse is a symbol of these new beginnings.

In 1708, a simple log cabin structure, the first Mennonite Meetinghouse in America, was built on land deeded to the Germantown Mennonite Meeting by Arnold van Vossen on the site of the present Meetinghouse.
