Old Chapel and Burwell Cemetery
Simply known as Old Chapel, this is the oldest Episcopal church building still in use west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It started out as a log building that was destroyed during the American Revolution. The stone building dates to approximately 1793.
The chapel stands along U.S. 340 near Millwood, Virginia.
