Bingham, Maine is a tiny community about 50 miles up the Kennebec River from Augusta, Maine. The old free meeting hall still stands though it is no longer used as a church. These free halls were used by circuit riding preachers in the early 19th century. Today, even though the Kennebec is dammed above Bingham, this is a center for white water sports. In the 1840’s Bingham was primarily a logging community supplying lumber for the shipbuilding on the lower reaches of the Kennebec.
