Christmas Open House at the Historic Chapel

Last Updated 12/17/2025


On December 9th, the Historic Chapel in Wood River was filled with the warmth and wonder of the holiday season during our Christmas Open House. Guests were welcomed by the soft glow of luminaries lining the chapel grounds, creating a magical atmosphere as Christmas music drifted through the air.

Inside, the chapel was beautifully decorated with festive holiday décor that highlighted the charm and elegance of this beloved historic space. Visitors had the opportunity to tour the chapel, take in its timeless beauty, and imagine it adorned for future celebrations and gatherings.

As guests explored, they enjoyed delicious Christmas cookies and shared in the joy of the season with friends, neighbors, and fellow community members. Laughter, conversation, and holiday cheer made the evening truly special.

Thank you to everyone who came out to visit and celebrate the season with us. Your support and enthusiasm help keep the Historic Chapel a cherished part of the Wood River community. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon—and wish you all a joyful and festive holiday season! 🎄✨
