The Williams Chapel, relocated from the Northern part of Rutherford County and adapted from an early schoolhouse, is representative of a small country churches in the South.
Its present appearance give insight to the evolution of the building. The original simple frame structure was updated by the more ornate Victorian interior and the stained glass windows, while the steeple represents the latest effort to modernize the structure. Churches of this sort likely served as a focal point for the circuit riding minister. He probably preached here twice a month and went out among the smaller churches on the other Sundays. The extended length of services-several hours-compensated for their infrequency. Inside, the center aisle divides the church and the churchgoers; the women and men sat on different sides. Today, this chapel is used for weddings.
