On Christmas Day in 1823, the first service was held at what is now known as the Old Stone Chapel in Sackets Harbor. The building was unfinished. There was no roof. The congregation gathered under an open sky.

That kind of devotion — to a building, to a community, to a moment — says something about the people who built this village.

Construction on what was then Christ Episcopal Church began in 1823, with the cornerstone laid on May 24th. Local Masonic Temple members assisted in the groundbreaking. The building is one of the earliest examples of Gothic architecture in the North Country, featuring a square belfry built over a columned Doric portico, Gothic arches, and square quoins reinforcing its corners and window openings — a design that foreshadowed the approaching Greek Revival Movement before that style had even fully arrived.

The first organ was purchased in 1832, and the church was consecrated in 1833. Among its congregation over the years were some genuinely notable names — Ulysses S. Grant, Fiorello LaGuardia, and Francis Bible all worshipped here at various points in the building's long life.

In February of 2021, the Sackets Harbor Historical Society purchased the building from the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York and renamed it the Old Stone Chapel — preserving it as a community cultural center and one of the most significant historic buildings in Jefferson County.

Throughout the summer of 2026, the Old Stone Chapel is open for tours every Saturday from 1 to 3pm, beginning June 27 and running through September 5. A representative from the Historical Society will be on hand to show you around and answer questions. The chapel is also available for weddings and private events.

If you have not been inside, today is a good time to change that.
