History The Little Chapel in the Woods was dedicated by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt shortly after holding their first wedding ceremony. It was designed by architect O’Neil Ford, and built as a project for the National Youth Administration during the depression. Young women artists have put their stamp on countless features in the chapel. Its symbolism portrays “Women Ministering to Human Needs” on saw-pierced and riveted brass lighting and beech woodwork.

The Little Chapel in-the-Woods is the perfect location for an intimate, romantic wedding ceremony. The staff was wonderful to work with and were very responsive and attentive to all our requests and needs. When COVID hit, they allowed us to reschedule our wedding with great flexibility and at no additional charge to us. Our experience with the chapel and all who work for it at TWU has been nothing short of wonderful.
