United States Military Academy Grounds and Facilities

Chapels

The military chapel has played a major role in the history of the academy. In fact, attendance at weekly chapel services was mandatory until the early 1970s. The first chapel, now known as the "Old Cadet Chapel" was first constructed in 1836. It stood on the site now occupied by Bartlett Hall for 74 years until it was torn down in 1910 upon completion of the Cadet Chapel and moved to its current location in the cemetery.
