The Little-Chapel-in-the-Woods is a secluded sanctuary built in September 1939, and dedicated by the former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The Little Chapel is known for its superb acoustics for string instruments, particularly acoustic guitar, violin, viola, and cello. The natural beauty that surrounds the Little Chapel is harmonized by the beautiful interior stain glass windows, making it one of DFW's most popular wedding venues.
