The Chappaqua Friends Meeting House, built 1753, is the oldest Quaker meeting house in Westchester County, New York, a stop on the Underground Railroad and a birthplace of the abolitionist movement in New York. In 1776 it would serve as a hospital for Continental Army soldiers injured at the nearby Battle of White Plains. Part of the Old Chappaqua Historic District, it is a stop on the African American Heritage Trail of Westchester County.In 2020, a Black Lives Matter sign in front of the house was defaced, prompting the organization to release a statement in support of the movement and its ideals.
