‘Sconset Organizations
A vibrant and welcoming community
A summary of local groups and facilities that collaborate with the ‘Sconset Trust.
The ‘Sconset Trust collaborates with a number of local group and facilities including:
Siasconset Civic Association
The purpose of the Siasconset Civic Association (SCA) is to promote and protect the mutual interests of property owners and residents. The SCA aims to preserve the residential and historical character of the Village of ’Sconset. It provides an organization through which the residents may meet to discuss matters of common interest affecting the community. It promotes studies and makes recommendations to improve the Village. The SCA raises and receives funds to use to accomplish the aims of the Association.
Siasconset Union Chapel
The Siasconset Union Chapel was built in 1883 as an ecumenical “House of Worship” and has hosted Protestant and Roman Catholic services for many years since. The Chapel is at the heart of the ’Sconset community. It is the meeting place for prayer, lecture, song, message, marriage, contemplation and a place for annual renewal and resumption of friendships.
The Chapel property consists of the Chapel building, a parsonage, the community green and the memorial gardens with our Columbarium. In 2007, the Massachusetts Historical Commission granted an historic Preservation Restriction to the Chapel ensuring that it will remain as is for years to come. The ‘Sconset Trust holds and manages the Preservation Restriction for the Chapel.
Siasconset Casino Association
The Siasconset Casino Association is a non-profit family and social club, which was founded in 1899. Since that time, it has maintained a tradition of providing members with excellent tennis facilities as well as recreational and social activities in a low-key environment that is courteous, respectful and gracious.
The Casino also serves the village of ’Sconset by providing a venue for community oriented events such as the Trust’s Annual Meeting, ‘Sconset History Night, Siasconset Civic Association meetings, movies and weddings, etc.
