Meetings steadily grew during the 1800s as large families expanded and multiplied, making it necessary to branch off and build new meetinghouses here and there throughout the district. | ||
| 102 | ![]() | The Big Swatars German Baptist (Dunkard) Meetinhouse at Hanoverdale, Dauphin County, PA Because of its central location in the Big Swatera congregation (that included a number of meetinghouses) this one, at Hanoverdale, became the preferred location of spring and fall love feasts. For this reasons, a full basement, kitchen, benches, water facilities, and lodging for many visitors in the attic became necessary. | |
