CS/71/B854/1953 QUAKER STREET, NY The Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, arrived in Duanesburg in the late 1700s, migrating mostly from Dutchess County. They leased land from the "Duane Grant" and settled in the area which eventually became known as Quaker Street. Their first building was a log Meeting House. They eventually purchased property from James C. Duane, son of James Duane and built the present Meeting House in 1807, just a short distance away from the original log building. In the early days a folding partition, through the center of the building, was raised and lowered by means of pulleys and ropes, because the men and women usually entered and sat on opposite sides of the room. They sat on plain wooden benches, now with cushions. The same cast iron box stoves from the log building were installed in the new building. Later a porch was added across the front of the building. A carriage shed and burial ground are still on the property. During the period of the "Underground Railroad" various Quaker homes in the community provided food and shelter to runaway slaves from the South.
