"My husband and I rented out this historic chapel for our wedding! We wanted a very simple day that mimicked an elopement. Mt. Zion Historic Park was the perfect venue for us. In 2023, it cost us less than $300 to rent out the chapel and grounds for 3 hours. We had about 40 guests, but the venue could have accommodated for more. The venue organizer was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire process. We bought two large center piece flower arrangements to put on the altar and it added the perfect amount of decoration. I would recommend this chapel to anyone looking for a more intimate budget wedding. Some of the photos are ones from our wedding day and other photos are from the day I visited the venue with the venue organizer."
"Very pretty old church. I'm glad they saved it and we happened upon it in the last day of the year when they had it open for guided tours! We plan to go back to check out the trails across the street."
"Interesting history and simply a nice place to take a walk. Enjoyed reading the interpretive signage about the church and graveyard."
"Small park with historic 1850's church/graveyard and some civil war history and significance. There is ample historical signage regarding both the church, and civil war battle, along with a nice forested trail around back. Great place for a short outing with kids or anyone interested in history."
"Very nice! Really enjoyed my visit. The markers were informative and well-placed. The only thing I saw that could use improvement was the condition of the cemetery. It was a bit overgrown."
