This Chapel was built in 1885. Located in remote area until paved road in 1980's was built. Access to area was by boat or low tide along beach. Attendance dwindled and church property deserted until the local postmaster paid the past due taxes. When road was finished, the area saw many newcomers and the church started to grow. A full time pastor came and purchased land across street for new building. The old chapel was moved across street and attached to the new structure. Services still held with many weddings in this chapel.
