Built in 1908, the Foote Baptist Church was moved to Chestnut Square in 1994 and became the Chapel at Chestnut Square. The original cost of the building was between $800 and $900.
The interior of the church is a congregational style with a center aisle and sloped sanctuary. The Chapel at Chestnut Square hosts many weddings, baptisms and other services each year, providing funding to support the Historic Village.
