Bremo Slave Chapel

Built in 1835, the Bremo Slave Chapel was originally located at Bremo, the plantation of General John Hartwell Cocke in Fluvanna County, Virginia. It served as the house of worship for enslaved workers on the plantation. In the 1880s it was moved into the nearby community of Bremo Bluff, and it served the Episcopal community as Grace Church until a new church was built in 1924. The chapel now serves as the parish hall for Grace Episcopal Church and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Information from the African American Historic Sites Database and Wikipedia.
