ABOUT BARRATT’S CHAPEL AND MUSEUM
Barratt's Chapel is an officially designated Heritage Landmark of the United Methodist Church. Today it is owned and maintained by the Commission on Archives and History of the Peninsula-Delaware Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Several thousand people visit the Chapel each year. The Commission sponsors occasional worship services and other events throughout the year. The Chapel is also used for many weddings, baptisms, funerals, and other special services.
"No standing structure is as significant to the identity of American Methodists as Barratt's Chapel . . . Today Barratt's Chapel stands as both the most important Methodist historical structure in the nation, and in terms of national history, the most significant historical building, secular or religious, on the entire Delmarva Peninsula."
William H. Williams, Ph.D. Professor of History, Emeritus University of Delaware
