Comments

The Penguin Uniting Church is part of the Presbytery of Tasmania and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The present church building was opened on 10/5/1903, and replaced a small timber structure on the same site opened on 14/1/1866. The land had been donated by Mr Lewis Grant. The church celebrated 150 years of worship on this site in 2016. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 27/1/2019.
