Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house near OH 150 in the village of Mount Pleasant, Ohio. It was built in 1814 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was the first Quaker yearly meeting house west of the Alleghenies. Mount Pleasant, named a National Historic Landmark District for its association with the antislavery movement in the years leading up to the American Civil War, is home to five documented Underground Railroad "stations." The village celebrated its 200th anniversary with tours, special displays and programs on Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014. On Saturday, Aug. 2, there was a special program in the 1814 Quaker Meeting House with The Hon. John D. Ong, former U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Norway and descendant of Jacob Ong (1760–1849), the Meeting House "carpenter" or in modern terms contractor. Jacob Ong was a minister and was remembered by a friend thus: 'He usually had a message for the people, his theme was always love. In the earnestness of his soul he would deliver the message, while tears would trickle down his furrowed cheeks. Trembling from head to foot, he would exhort young and old to love the Lord and one another.'"The building is now owned by the Ohio Historical Society and managed by the Mount Pleasant Historical Society as the Quaker Yearly Meeting House.

The Concord Hicksite Friends Meeting House is a historic Friends meeting house located near the community of Colerain, Ohio, United States. Constructed in 1815 for a group formed in 1801, it has been named a historic site. Founded as "Concord", Colerain was the second community to be founded in present-day Belmont County. The founders were Friends who emigrated largely from North Carolina and Virginia to escape slavery.: 155  The first monthly meeting at Concord was held on December 19, 1801, but in the early years, its locations varied from the vicinity of Wheeling, the nearby Short Creek, and Plainfield in Coshocton County.: 213  Until Miami Monthly Meeting was established in 1803, many Friends settling in southwestern Ohio were members at Concord.: 218–219  Other members left around the same time to form a separate monthly meeting, Stillwater, in Warren Township. By the late nineteenth century, this settlement had grown to the point that it had become the permanent meeting place of Ohio Yearly Meeting.: 218  Both Concord and Stillwater suffered division in 1828, as the Hicksite controversy saw the secession of individuals following Hicks' new teachings.: 219–220  Concord was particularly deeply involved in spreading innovation in Ohio Yearly Meeting, and the quarterly meeting having oversight of Concord was forced to appoint a committee to visit its other monthly meetings to check the spread of dissension.: 91  Virtually none of the members remained in communion with Orthodox meetings,: 93  and from the Orthodox perspective, the meeting was quickly laid down, i.e. disorganized.: 95 Constructed in 1815, the Concord meeting house is a simple brick building with no architectural style; the foundation is stone, and slates cover the roof. The structure is a basic rectangle, with doors on both long and short sides; one window pierces the end, and two shuttered windows (one on either side of the doorway) pierce the front. The end rises to a gable, and a small chimney sits atop the peak of the roof. Transom lights are placed above the entrances, which sit atop small flights of steps that rise from a footpath that runs around the building.In 2009, the Concord meeting house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in local history and because of its historically significant architecture. It is Colerain Township's only National Register-listed site, and one of twenty-six countywide.
