This is a very small chapel outside of Lebanon. The chapel has seating forabout 6 friendly people and was well kept up. It is purported to be "the Geographical Center of the U.S.A." It sits on a little rise overlooking a corn field. Nearby is a defunct motel. You can get info on how to get there from the cafe in Lebanon.

The old gas station is in the library. Small museum, worth taking a couple of minutes to walk through.
[Eliza, 06/26/2017]They are doing some remodeling but still open and functional. Fun and Educational. They could do with adding some music or something besides silence. Great gift shop next door - Kinderhook Treasures.
[Potterhead, 05/21/2016]Inside the library... SOOOO cold. The right lighting on some of these artifacts would make this a really impactful attraction. As it is, it's rather sterile, like a hospital. Worth a stop though as you make your way up the Mother Road.
