This tiny chapel is a real eye-catcher to those driving along Hwy 18 near Rock Valley. The structure, just to the west of Van Berkum Mobile Home Park, is actually a covered pedestrian bridge that crosses a small ravine. It is unclear if there was ever a public walking path which utilized this bridge, but the tall steeple with the cross on the top is a testament to the strong faith of the people in this community. Parking is available at N 43 12.073; W 096 18.886.
