Dudley's Chapel

Built in 1783 on land donated by Joshua Dudley

This is the first Methodist meeting house erected in Queen Anne’s County, as an outgrowth of a Society organized in 1774. It is one of the earliest surviving Methodist Churches in Maryland. Bishops Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke and Richard Whatcoat preached here. The brick Chapel was renovated and restored to its present appearance in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Marker is on Benton Corner Road 0.3 miles south of Sudlersville Road (Maryland Route 300), on the left when traveling south.
