Religious Revival in Windham

Religious Revival in Windham

For two years, Mr. Whiting's church receives a revival of interest from Windham residents. Religious revivals were not common at the time and people compared the church to Gideon's fleece, being "full of moisture" while everything around it was dry. People of all ages attend, as well as residents from surrounding towns.
