Post Chapel
Weddings, christenings, funerals, and services of all faiths took place here in Fort Hancock’s chapel. It is one of the few surviving buildings from the pre-World War II mobilization period of 1940-41.
First Sergeant Lawrence Markle, 7th Coast Artillery Regiment, and Private 1st Class Margaret Bechill, Fort Hancock’s Women’s Army Corps detachment, were married here on October 8, 1943.
Fort Hancock was in operation from 1895 to 1974.
