Newberry Friends Meeting House, now the Friends of Jesus Fellowship Friends Church, is a historic Quaker meeting house and cemetery located in Paoli Township, Orange County, Indiana. It was built in 1856, and is a one-story, rectangular, vernacular Greek Revival style frame building. It sits on a rubble limestone foundation and is sheathed in clapboard siding. The adjacent cemetery was established in 1818, and the earliest marked burials date to the 1840s. The congregation played a significant role in the settlement of African Americans in Orange County.{{cite web| url = https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/welcome.html| title = Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) | publisher = Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology | format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-06-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url =https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/21a38/N/Newberry_Friends_Meeting_House_Orange_CO_Nom.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Newberry Friends Meeting House | accessdate = 2016-06-01| author=Thelma Lindley| format = PDF| date=May 1995}} and Accompanying photographs.{{rp|5, 10}}
