EATON — Come Sunday, the 19th century setting of the non-denominational South Eaton Meeting House will come alive for its Thanksgving service, to which the public is invited to reflect upon their blessings while enjoying some music, light refreshments and some old-fashioned community good cheer.

The picturesque, 1844-built meeting house located in South Eaton at the corner of Towle Hill and Burnham Roads, just south of Purity Spring Resort off Route 153, also holds a fair every August, and occasionally a concert or program or two, but the Thanksgiving service is now its one and only faith-related observance of the year.
