So, Alexis told me that the Haystack prayer meeting happened in nearby Williamstown! Looking forward to visiting it soon… Here is an interesting link to more information about what happened at Haystack:

Apparently this event is quite well known - illiterate me!

Anyway, although the students were meeting regularly for a twice-weekly prayer meeting, I guess the pivotal prayer meeting, “the” haystack prayer if you will, happened in 1806. Which means that this year, this summer, is the 200th anniversary of that prayer! Pretty cool!
