Chappell Hill Methodist Church
Chappell Hill Methodist Church is a historic church on Church Street in Chappell Hill, Texas.
The current Carpenter Gothic church building was constructed in 1901 Heinrich C. Brandt, but the church congregation and its Wesleyan tradition date back to 1849. In 1849, Chappell Hill's founders, Jacob Haller and Mary Hargrove Haller, dedicated an acre, adjacent to the Chappell Hill Academy, for a church site.
The first church building was erected in 1853 and continually served as a house of worship until September 9, 1900, when it was destroyed by the Great Storm of 1900. The present building was constructed in 1901. Chappell Hill is the home of the Official State of Texas Bluebonnet Festival. Sadly, when this photo was taken there were no bluebonnets in sight!
