The Story Keeps Changing
Nobody knows exactly what happened on Meeting House Green in 1740.
That has never stopped Ipswich from telling the story.
For generations, people have changed details, added characters, moved the Devil around the church, argued about George Whitefield, and imagined exactly how one mysterious mark ended up in a piece of stone.
The rock is still there.
The story is still told.
