"Fred Bartholme Memorial Chapel" aka "The Little Chapel in the Woods"
ABOUT OUR "LITTLE CHAPEL IN THE WOODS"
At the end of a cobbled brick lane, the Fred Bartholme Memorial Chapel, or as it’s become known in the area, “Little Chapel in the Woods,” is ideal for weddings, vow renewals, memorial services, family gatherings and monthly prayer services.
John Bartholme erected the charming steepled chapel in 2021 to honor his dear father, who passed away in 2020. Built by an Amish family, the rustic interior features hand-hewn beams in the ceiling and white pine benches with seating for up to 50 people. The wooden wraparound observation deck overlooks a truly breathtaking valley panorama.
Not surprisingly, the “Little Chapel” has drawn attention near and far. It’s been voted into the top 10 overlooks in north central Pennsylvania by PA Great Outdoors magazine and named a “must see” on PABucketList.com. More than 100 people each day visit the picturesque building, and nearby historic cemetery and wooden cross.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CHAPEL
"John and Elizabeth,
Our day was so perfect…. and your Chapel was the finishing touch! It had to be God’s hand that we learned about it just days before the ceremony - and it was available!
I wanted to share some of our pics with you.
Thank you so much for your kindness in our time of need and helping this day to be so incredibly perfect! The rain actually made the natural beauty of the foliage and cobblestones even more vibrant!
Such a beautiful tribute to your father!"
