Whitaker’s Chapel, located seven miles southeast of Enfield in Halifax County,(Submitted on April 29, 2023, by Michael Buckner of Durham, North Carolina.)holds a prominent place in the history of the movement for democratic Methodism in America. The original log chapel was built by Richard Whittaker, on his own land, around 1740. In the colonial era, the chapel was part of the Church of England. After the American Revolution, it became part of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Francis Asbury preached at Whitaker's Chapel at least three times, in 1786, 1789, and 1804.
