Happy Easter! Built in 1872 with funds provided by Col. Augustus Hazard (whose powder mill was 100 yards away), the Hazardville United Methodist Church is located at 330 Hazard Avenue in Enfield. The church‘s earlier building, constructed in 1835, still survives further west on Hazard Avenue. In 1923, a three story addition was built in the rear of the 1872 church that provided space for a Ladies Parlor, classrooms, kitchen and a heating plant.
Hazardville United Methodist Church (1872)
My Luv and I just celebrated our 50th anniversary. What a privilege was ours to be married in this beautiful church, my dear Dad’s home church—Donald C. Gordon—AND the church where my grandparents, William Watson Gordon & Harriet Covil, had been married 64 years earlier!
May God bless you, as you press on to know our Wondrous God and to make Him known.
He is Faithful!
This comment is in response to the article regarding the 1872 building of the Hazardville United Methodist Church. Colonel Augustus G. Hazard provided NO funds with which to build our church. The Hazard Powder Company owned the land on which the church is built. When the original church was sold the funds from the sale plus PLEDGES from the church members were used to build the brick church. Submitted by Alice Godard Allen, HUMC Historian.
