Miss Sarah Porter, born in 1813, was the daughter of Noah Porter, pastor of First Church in Farmington, 1806-1866. In 1843 she founded the school for girls which is associated with her name. After her death, in 1900, former students of Miss Porter’s School contributed money for the building of the Sarah Porter Memorial House. Dedicated in 1902, it serves First Church, which is located just across the Village Green. The building is also used as a community center, hosting other local groups.
