First Parish Preservation Foundation Home of a Paul Revere bell The history of First Parish is the history of our town In early Colonial times Kennebunk was a part of Wells. Communities were then designated as parishes and each parish furnished an essential meeting place. People in the Kennebunk area had to travel seven miles most by foot to the First Congregational Parish of Wells to go to church or community meetings. In 1750 they founded their own parish called the Second Congregational Parish of Wells on the Kennebunk River.
