About the Chapel

Originally founded in 1840, the Presbyterian Church was built in 1851. In 1911 and 1912 the Church was renovated. The steeple was removed and a new facade depicting Greek revival was created. The building was then clad in the yellow brick, which you see today. This brick came in by train and was used to build other historic sites through out Madison. Other fine examples are the Court House and the Methodist Church. The once Presbyterian Church has thirteen beautiful stained glass windows some standing 20 feet tall and dating from the mid to late 1800's. They are registered with the State as some of the finest examples of historic stain glass windows in Florida. There is a beautiful organ and a unique chandelier, which has over 100 crystals and six etched globes. The hard wood floors are heart of pine and the pews are hand carved oak. The Church was used for the funeral service of Colin P Kelly, the First World War II hero with many dignitaries attending. We feel that there have been many memories of past and present families which still linger in this beautiful now restored wedding Chapel and we hope many more memories to come.
