The Knightsville Meetinghouse, also known as Knightsville-Franklin Congregational Church, was a historic church and meeting hall building located in Cranston, Rhode Island. Built in 1807 for the Benevolent Baptist Society, the meetinghouse served as a gathering place for town meetings and various Christian denominations until it officially became a church in 1878.
Affiliated with the United Church of Christ before joining the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches in 2006, the congregation saw declining funding and membership leading to its closure in October 2009. Despite its rich history, the church was eventually demolished in 2015, leaving behind a legacy of community and faith in the village of Knightsville.
