This building was originally referred to as "the Chapel at Cunningham's"
(Cunningham's being the name of the tavern near the chapel),
"Old Chapel," as it is now known, is the oldest Episcopal Church
in continuous use west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

We were about 60 years old when we built the chapel in 1762,
and it is the third structure we built on this site.
