The big Mead family has lived in the Waccabuc neighborhood of Lewisboro, NY, since 1776.
After the death of the family's head in 1899, his wife commissioned a family chapel, begun in 1905 and completed in 1907.
In the middle years of the 20th century, many of the Mead children began moving elsewhere.
In 1970 the trustees suspended regular services.
Since that time, the Chapel has continued as privately-owned, available to family, friends and members of the nearby community for christenings, weddings, memorial services and occasional secular events.
The chapel is on the National Register of Historic Places.

This stone chapel seems to be built to last centuries. Impressive to be family owned.
