Once complete, the newly-revitalized Chapel will host community & music events. It will provide tourism education to its many visitors, and offer Western weddings to couples looking for a unique experience.

The historic Shaniko chapel boasts a rich history – its life began in 1897 as a single-room schoolhouse in the neighboring ranch region of Bakeoven. It wasn’t until 1964 that the building was transported 9-miles up the highway to Shaniko to operate as the town’s only chapel.

Breathing new life into the Chapel opens up the opportunity to share its past with visitors – and it paves a path to creating new memories for future generations. It also provides an economic development opportunity for our little town of 25 residents.
