Places of Interest

The Quaker Meeting House: Built in 1820, this structure marks the period when West Unity was known as Quaker City. The Quakers, who built this single-story structure sheathed in unpainted clapboards, had previously been obliged to attend meetings in Weare, N.H. The interior was divided into two sections to separate men and women, according to Quaker beliefs. The building is still used for Quaker meetings.

Revolutionary War Soldier's Grave: Located on the Old East Unity Road on John Stark Highway, this woodlot near Potato Hill is the final burial place for an anonymous Revolutionary War soldier who is said to have come from the Portsmouth area.

Other sites of interest include the Springhouse Ruin in East Unity, the remnants of the bath site and 60-room Unitoga Springs House, which burned in 1892; and the West Unity Community Church, built in 1846 and the only religious structure in Unity still serving its original purpose.
