 The
Chapel of Rest Preservation Society was created in 1984 to preserve
the historical integrity of the Chapel of Rest and to maintain the
building and grounds. The Chapel, built in1887, is in the heart of
Happy Valley and situated on a know, is reminiscent of a more simple
life when locals lined the pews in their Sunday best clothing.
Travelers who stop in for a rest along the Scenic Byway will find
the chapel as peaceful today as those did who visited many years
ago.
