Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton & Upton - UUSGU

Originally, the meetinghouse stood in the center of the town common. One hundred years after its founding, the church was split along the liberal-orthodox line. The liberal wing took the name Unitarian and built their church on its present location. The orthodox wing took the name Congregational.

During the Civil War, while the minister was serving with the Massachusetts Regiment, the church burned down. The current building, rebuilt on the site, was dedicated in 1864.

Within the past 40 years, the Unitarian Society of Upton and the Unitarian Society of Grafton were merged. Both churches have weathered the progress and unrest inherent in a vital and changing society, and both have contributed greatly to the religious life of their respective communities.

Today we are a growing community welcoming many members from neighboring towns including Westborough, Millbury, Worcester, and Shrewsbury. All have joined to continue our common journey
