Geocache Description:

Barratt's Chapel & Museum 6362 Bay Rd Frederica DE 19946

The "children" were on vacation this week and decided to visit a few local areas of interest, so enjoy.... Points of interest at this Heritage Landmark: The chapel exterior is much as it was in 1784, except for a gable window added on the west end and the conversion of two large first floor windows into doors. On the inside there have been several changes, but a metal star on the floor marks the historic meeting of Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury on November 14, 1784. Some of the original furnishings are in the museum. The museum focuses on Methodism on the Delmarva Peninsula, and has books, records, letters, and memorabilia on display. There is an eleven acre cemetery with graves dating from 1785 to the present, including Barratt family graves. Visitors may park on site; restrooms are available at the chapel. Special events: An anniversary service is held the second Sunday in November, and a Christmas service is held in the chapel on the Sunday before Christmas. Area attractions: In nearby Wilmington are the Winterthur Museum and the Hagley Museum. Barratt's Chapel is also near several wildlife refuges. To visit: Barratt's Chapel is open Saturday and Sunday 1:30-4:30 p.m., and at other times by appointment with the site administator, Barbara Duffin. The chapel is owned by the Peninsula-Delaware Annual Conference Commission on Archives and History.
