Shiloh Temple is a historic religious building in Durham, Maine.
The Temple was built in 1897 by Frank Sandford, the charismatic leader of the controversial "Holy Ghost and Us Society", which encouraged its followers to sell their worldly possessions to the church and come and live at the Shiloh Temple. The surviving building, which is the central fragment of what was originally a much more extensive complex, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
A minister of the Holy Ghost and Us Society, George W. Higgins, was a victim of New England's last tarring and feathering incident in 1899.
