The building is of significant importance in the local Town of Easton Quaker settlement and history relating to the American Revolutionary War period. The story of “Fierce Feathers”: “During the Revolutionary War…The Quakers, although inconvenienced by the conflicts, were never forced to leave their land. An explanation of their ability to survive this war may be learned in the authenticated story of “Fierce Feathers”. A group of Burgoyne’s Indians approached their meeting house while the Quakers were in silent meditation and the Indian’s intent of killing was diverted by the calm of the Quakers. The Indians left them unharmed and hung a white feather over the door as a symbol of peace between the Indians and the Quakers” (Credit: Earline M. Houser, Miriam W. Peters, Easton Town Historians, from the book: “An Introduction to Historic Resources In Washington County, New York”, published in Granville, NY, 1976 by The Washington County Planning Department for the Washington County Planning Board and the Washington County Board of Supervisors, Page 37.)

Per a sign on site posted by NYS Education Department, 1922: “Friend’s Log Meeting House surrounded by Burgoyne’s Indian Allies in 1777 but finding friends unarmed stacked arms and attended meeting peaceably”.
