Albert's Chapel United Methodist Church History of the Church at it's Centennial Celebration!
Excerpts from the Celebration booklet:
"Albert's Chapel is like a lighthouse set on a hill beckoning worshipers and tourists to come and see. It is located on Sand Ridge hill in Calhoun County, on the north side of U.S. Route 33-119 between Millstone and Stumptown, West Virginia. Asbury and Matilda Poling deeded the property for the church and adjacent cemetery to the church trustees: William S. Kimble, Charles Lockney, and Asbury Poling on August 21, 1902.

"Before the church was built only a small cemetery was located on the property. . .In 1898 the church was built. It was named Albert's Chapel in honor of Albert Poling, who became interested in building the church when he was about twenty-five years old. . .Various stories have been told as to why the church was built in such an unusual shape. We do not know which one of these stories influenced Albert's decision to build a round church. It is often referred to as round, but it is actually octagonal shaped with eight distinct sides. . .The church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1982."

The cemetery is located U.S. Route 119 at the church.
