This tiny chapel is nestled deep in the woods

This
rural church was located amid the farmlands
of Shelby County, Indiana. A well kept cemetery
surrounds the 1872 brick chapel. The bell tower
and front entrance were added during a 1902
renovation. Abandoned in 1942, the church
collapsed during the mid-1990s. However, a sense of family history,
ceremony, and ritual prevails.
Sculpture: LL item #522
Introduced in October 1989 at $90 retail.
Retired - October 1992
