History of the Ferguson Chapel
Filling in a vacancy at the Presbyterian Church at Kingfisher was the Reverend G. V. Albertson, who joined in the great race into what is now Blaine County. He staked a lot for the Presbyterian Church in Watonga. Mr. Albertson organized almost 250 Sunday Schools. Among them, in Blaine County, were Geary, Greenfield, Watonga and Winnview.

In December of 1901 eleven members met to organize a Presbyterian Church. The cost to build the church was $1387.99. Wages paid to workers on the church were $2.00 per day.

The Church was dedicated Sunday, June 14, 1903. The Winnview Presbyterian Church located east of Watonga joined the Ferguson Chapel Presbyterian Church in 1918.

The Ferguson Chapel Presbyterian Church was an active church in Watonga from 1901 to 1972. The first pastor of the church was Reverend J. G. Curry and the last pastor of the church was Reverend Sam Hee Shinn.

Restoration
In December of 1992, a group of concerned citizens led by Fred R. Lucas, D.D.S. met to discuss restoration of the Ferguson Chapel Presbyterian Church. The agreement to purchase the building from Dick and Joan Oler was on December 7, 1992. A non-profit organization was set up and by March 1993; over $25,000 was received from individuals from all areas of the United States. Most of the contributions came from persons whose families had ties with the Church and from local individuals interested in restoring the Church to historical accuracy. The building was purchased on March 11, 1993.

Restoration of the Ferguson Chapel Presbyterian Church has been a "community project". The majority of the work was completed by volunteer help by Watonga citizens after regular working hours. The Ferguson Chapel Presbyterian Church is available to use for: WEDDINGS, MEETINGS, and HISTORICAL EVENTS. The church is shown by appointment
