Vodrey Chapel
Early residents often had church services outside or in a private home. Ministers traveled by foot, horseback or canoe from one settlement to another facing hardships and enduring inclement weather. Church was not only a spiritual occasion it was also a social event. The first church in the county with a permanent pastor was built in 1806 near Lisbon.
The chapel was constructed from several log structures that were originally on county property, near the Sell Covered Bridge on Trinity Church Road in Center Township. They were dismantled, the logs tagged and moved to the Pioneer Village.
The chapel is dedicated to lawyer, historian, conservationist and benefactor, William H. Vodrey III. The chapel can be rented for weddings.
