1. Main Station Chapel Marker
After a tornado destroyed both the Fairview Methodist and Antioch churches, area families joined forces in 1884 to build what later became known as the Main Station Church. Located just east of the current Rathbun Lake, it was adjacent to the Main Station Cemetery.
In 1998, the Whicker family deeded the building and contents to the Moravia Area Historical Society, and it was moved to this complex.
Erected by Moravia Historical Complex.
