The Buchanan Chapel was acquired by the Monroe Arts Council in the fall of 2019 with the plan to preserve the beautiful historic structure for multi-use opportunities for the communities of Lewisville and Woodsfield, Ohio. 

While much work has already been done, including the addition of a new metal roof, new gutters, downspouts and landscape drains, along with electric and gas service, the next step is to re-insulate damaged floors to maintain a comfortable meeting area for the community.

This project would ensure a comfortable and safe meeting place for the Monroe County community through improvements to the historic Buchanan Chapel. Safe and reliable community spaces are essential in Appalachian Ohio.
