Fort Yellowstone-Chapel

Built in 1913, the chapel was the last building completed during the Army era. Built of native stone with a slate roof and oak furnishings, it is still used today and is the best-preserved building, inside and out.

The bell was added in 1928, and two stained glass windows were placed in 1939. The chapel added a "finishing touch" to the fort and was considered by far its most beautiful structure. In 1914, Katharine Piercy Edmunds and Captain Albert Ady King of the First U.S. Cavalry were the first couple to be married here.

In the decades since, the chapel has continued to serve the community. Thoughtful design has given it a timeless splendor that complements its wilderness setting.
