What a beautiful colonial church! On the way to take Grandma Connie to the beach we past many beautifully restored colonial homes in which this church stood out. It was the Second Church of Hingham Mass. (now owned by...you guessed it, the Unitarian Church)
Check out the date above the door. What made this church so special was the plaque I discovered just across the sidewalk from the church. Play the video to hear me read it. There was a member of this church, Rev Daniel Shute Sr. who helped frame both the Mass. constitution and the U.S. Constitution. He also served as Chaplin in the French and Indian War. His son Daniel Shute Jr. served as a physician for Gen. Lincoln who served under George Washington. The following links to a copied diary of Rev. Daniel Shute when he served in the Canada Campaign during the French and Indian War:
