1. Coldwater Road Chapel Marker
Built in 1898, this former Cohoctah Evangelical Church initially served the religious needs of a farming community near Howell, Michigan. Since Michigan lumber was in short supply during the time this church was being built, it was constructed of southern pine. The little chapel was dedicated free of debt on September 3, 1898.
This white clapboard country church was relocated to Crossroads Village in 1979 and dedicated the same year. The restoration and furnishings are characteristic of a rural church of the 1890s and the building retains the integrity of that period.
Today, many couples reserve this non-denominational chapel to serve as a backdrop for their Victorian-style weddings.
Erected by Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission.
