About Us

Fox Island Chapel Preservation Society

Our Mission: 

To ensure the legacy of the old Sylvan Chapel as an event center for cultural, visual and performing arts programs.

The Fox Island Chapel Preservation Society, a community based non-profit corporation, owns, maintains, and operates the historic Chapel on Echo Bay. The Society serves the greater community by providing a variety of services and programs that maintain and perpetuate the integrity and spirit of the 125-year-old Chapel. In addition to preserving the facility as an historic site and heritage center, the Society provides activities including educational programs, recitals, concerts, and other visual and performing arts events.
