Towering trees surround the Lawrence Chapel, built of ancient local stone and perched on a knoll in rural Town of Catharine in Schuyler County, NY. Inside, guests sit under soaring wooden beams. Stained glass windows throw shimmers of colored light across the floors, adding to the serenity of this historic setting. The non-denominational Chapel was built by the Lawrence family in 1880 to honor their ancestors and to give their neighbors a place to worship, celebrate and gather as a community. To this day, the Chapel evokes both solemnity and joy. Original wooden pews can seat up to 120 guests. The altar pieces are also original. The Schuyler County Historical Society is honored to be the caretaker of the Lawrence Chapel and is committed to offering the Chapel as a place that everyone may enjoy. The Chapel is available for weddings and other private and public events.
