The Wenger Meetinghouse Preservation Association is a non-profit organization located in Jonestown, Pennsylvania. The association was founded in 2006 with the goal of preserving the historic Wenger Meetinghouse, which was built in 1792 and served as a place of worship for the local Mennonite community for over 200 years.

The association's primary mission is to restore and maintain the Wenger Meetinghouse as a cultural and historical landmark. The building is a prime example of early American architecture, featuring hand-hewn timbers, a traditional Germanic-style balcony, and a unique hexagonal shape.

In addition to preservation efforts, the association also hosts events and educational programs to promote awareness and appreciation for the Meetinghouse's rich history and cultural significance. Visitors can tour the building and learn about the early Mennonite settlers who constructed it, as well as the Meetinghouse's role in the history of the local community.

The Wenger Meetinghouse Preservation Association is dedicated to ensuring that this important piece of American history remains intact for generations to come. Through their efforts, they have successfully preserved the Meetinghouse as a testament to the enduring legacy of early American settlers and the vital role that religion played in their lives.
