Harmony Chapel and Cemetery - Overview

Overview

The chapel adjacent to the cemetery sits on Route 44 west of Edgewood Drive. Built as a schoolhouse in 1816, after 1825 it became a meeting house (free chapel) for villagers. Residents would occasionally hire ministers to speak and hold various Christian religious ceremonies.

The cemetery behind the chapel was used as a private cemetery by the Steere, Smith and other local families until opened for public use in 1878.
