Church With a Rock In It

Way off the beaten path but a pretty drive. We saw the church at dusk and it was beautiful and creepy. Some bats flew out at us and sacred us pretty bad too. The inside of the church stays lit so you can see the rock pulpit. [Morehub, 06/27/2015]

Church Built Around a Rock

A very interesting place to visit. There is also a cemetery, picnic shelter and walking path. The inside of the church is small but very nice.

Sallie Howard Memorial Chapel - Boulder Pulpit

Sallie Howard Memorial Chapel was built by Col. Milford Howard for his first wife. It was inspired by a church in Glendale, CA which Col. Howard found on his travels. The Chapel is a quiet, inspirational place...but also a working church, with services held every Sunday. Most of the materials used in constructing the chapel are local..the huge wooden beams, the stone walls and of, course, the huge granite boulder that makes up the front of the chapel.

It's a one-room chapel, not a wedding chapel like you'd find in Gatlinburg, by any means...and a beautiful site for a quiet, country wedding. Or at least we, think so! We've chosen this as our wedding site...The pastor is a very kind fellow who will be saying our wedding for us. For the lady who wanted to find this place...
