Built in 1699, the Great Friend Meeting House is the oldest surviving house of worship in Rhode Island. Quakers, as they were called by their detractors because many members rocked back and forth during religious services, were the most influential of Newport's numerous early congregations. They dominated the city's political, social, and economic life into the 18th century, and their "plain style" of living was reflected in Newport's architecture, decorative arts, and early landscapes.
Ingredients: Roasted Cacao Shells
