Here overlooking the tidal river, where they might worship God in their own way, English Puritans from Wethersfield in A.D. 1644 erected the first "foursquare," rough-hewn log meeting house of the First Congregational Church in Branford, then called Totokett.
"O God, beneath they guiding hand our exiled fathers crossed the sea and when they trod the wintry strand with prayer and psalm they worshipped thee." -Leonard Bacon
This millstone which ground flour for the daily bread of the founders of this church and community, was placed here in respect for their staunch faith and courageous pioneering by the First Ecclesiastic Society of the town of Branford, A.D. 1964
